Tea Tree

A green bud between two attractive leaves
Looks at me from shade mixed sun, a glory
I'd like to spend my time pursing my lips 
Musing on some lukewarm cups of story

The top two leaves and the leaf bud they cut
Nimble fingers of love and eyes in smile 
They live in rows of shabby ailing hut
Pain and pleasure  wander many a mile

Snowy hill wind lends you lovely  love-touch
Soft palms of those tea girls warm affection
Passing rain drops fondle your smell so much
Leaves and buds can spread a fascination

Come aroma in bone china cups close 
Let my molecules in lips dance in rose

Exceedingly beautiful. From now on each time I have a cup of tea your poem will I taste in its aroma dear, Probir! A seven ! PS: When I was in China they told me of tea tree that is more than 2000 years old which is guarded by the military and the tea produced is offered to the state officials and to foreign dignitaries.
