Tea For Two
he poured himself his usual cup of happy
most days he took it the same
straight from the pot
a clean pot with traces of yesterday rinsed away
but just occasionally
he chose to add a wistful of bittersweet
and shed a tear or two
*****
she sipped from her cup of bittersweet
most days she took it the same
straight from the pot
a crazed pot that wept traces of yesterday
but just occasionally
she allowed herself to add a crystal of hope
and stemmed a tear or two
