Best Chai Poems

When my fatigued pen,
succumbed to a sleepy state of silence

in the market place of silent poets,
I searched for a tea room to stimulate my mind

my quest led me to you.

I do not recall the colours 
of the cup, nor the saucer.
Only the shimmer of light,
reflecting...

chai tea in red cup
dunking bag like chapel bell
down and up to lips —
palms commune around the mug
chains of cold release their hold

Curled up with a book and a chai tea latte
All the cares of the day disappear from sight.
It's a sinfully good indulgence to end the day
And relaxes me as my day becomes night.
Perhaps a second cup? Yes, I just might....

"Chai Tea, Vanilla: Writing it All"


We are a cauldron
steeped, stewing bitter,
unlike sweet chai tea

boiling 
and bubbling,
our reality, 

is hard
to swallow.

how do we live
with ourselves,
knowing,

we live
complacently?
we observe,

we write, 

we watch it all,
the killing of 
innocence,

the black
and white
of it all;

the death 
of a dream.
before the end,

Seductively sweet aromatic pleasure

Out on the porch swing
my cup of chai tea brings warmth
on a bitter ides of March 
I rock with the clouds 
watching flurries slowly fall 
with spring inside my teacup...

Sunflower is the petal symbol,
Big round face follows the sun,
Signifies Honesty as a yellow cymbal,
Light in Truth sets free one,
Sheds light on fidelity, living loyal,
As 18 is coming of age, Love matures Hon!
18, the Chinese hold to be “prosperal”,
Past attempts weighed only a gram,
Will now...

Sitting on the corner of the cafe with my friend after a long day,
Sipping the warm and sensual Chai tea,
Feeling the cold air from outside brush against my face when someone opens the door,
The taste of cinnamon ,nutmeg and milk flooded my mouth with pleasure...

I did not plan—
did not know, really--
that such a small thing
could mean so 
much.

soft, my heart jumps.
warm, my hands curl.
a little smile, I suspect, that
maybe only humans know,
but I cannot be so sure.

“a cat cannot know when you are sad.”
but have I ever been sad...

I went to Starbucks this morning,
it makes me sick with regret,
now my morals I am mourning,
And I hate the drink I get.
I want to be more punk, 
Minimalist and spikes adorning,
so i ditched all my stuff,
but still get Starbucks, how boring. 
I rant and I...

On the streets of lively Mumbai,
Close to the sandy Juhu,
They serve Chaat and Masala Chai,
To make your heart go Yoohooo!!

The English, Locals and Arabs!
Jews, Africans and Chinese!
Gather to the aroma of the herbs,
And to relish the Indian Cuisine!

Vending stalls have lined the route,
As the natives...

The Phoenix rises from the ashes filling all with dread.
I too rise each morning barely sliding out of bed.
His claws are strong, hard is his beaks; he has fire in his eyes. 
Coffee, coffee, I need some now. I will not compromise.

But today I soar...
