Surrounding me in the steam,
Washed away sensually....

Fall 

Swirling fiery hues
A chill settles
Cardigans and chai

Leaves wilting faster
Motionless, watching it all dissolve
Transforming to embers...

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

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...

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....

My sleepy dog she sleeps all day. 
up for a little time 
then back she goes to bed. 
sleeps in the chai or on the bed. 
if you seen her you would think she was dead. 
up to eat then to pee 
into the car for her ride. 
asleep in the seat that is where she is 
my sleepy little dog...

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 with a cat?...

Lots of wheat sweet wheat 
in rows lined with chai paste

are used to sample rasberries

Sometimes, I step Into the Sky.
Ancestors as footprints,
and drizzly ions my scented chai.

I stand with head-top near enough
to Earth that I
forget Sky
with all of my heart
and take my part
in the Grand Plan(less)

a-swirl, a-new

forgetting that I
can now remember
Who I am.
Who am I?
and

Why....

In my living room, 
i am curled into a cedar rocker
listening to the spring rain
on my roof.
sipping on spidersilk chai,
webbing grasping onto 
the ceramic rim 
and the milk and honey
enveloping my lips.
i feel like my tongue is satin
and can speak no frail language
when i tell you love
is pain
and therefore is real....

coffee
not tea
first thing in the morning 
wakes me up to get going 
hot shot
deep black
as hell

hot  tea
herbal tea
afternoon delight
calms me down for the day
hot chai
iced tea 
perfect

red wine 
white wine
drinking wine at sunset
with the love of my life 
watching sunset
drinking wine ...

RAIN
dripping
heaven's tears

petrichor comforts, 
reminds of eating hot
pakoras* and sipping chai**, 

"Rain is God's love showered on us"

*Pakoras - an Indian dish made from onions / vegetables dipped in gram flour batter
**Chai - tea

Chai tea latte warming my soul
The view from the window
Full of freedom and desire
Colors of serenity of peace
Stir deep around my heart 
Embracing it in balance

Dishes clatter in the background
Smells of spices tickle my nose
The furnace vibrates and hums above
People walk by and I remain unnoticed
As if I am one with the scene
My entirety melted into one with the café...

I bought myself a "Tassimo"
to make special coffees at home.
Skinny latte's and chai teas
with heaps of frothy foam.

No more trips to the coffee shop
to indulge my coffee obsession.
Specialty coffees are right at hand,
its my new favourite possession.

Cafe' creme, or decaf
and latte's by the score.
So many types to chose from,
my morning coffee's never a bore....

       Wishing you a season of peace!

       With our constant joy and support.

old words tremble on callow lips

pinched off like poison from a rose

and dripped upon the breeze ... 

your breath mixed with morning's

stirred with my own, like honeyed chai

yet spiced with argument ... rehashed
