Eyelash in my tea

It's the little things in life...

The Sun hung lazily about

Casting a glare every now and then at us

As we sat on the verandah

Sipping Darjeeling tea

The faint smell of sea breeze greeting our nostrils

Mingled with the smell of love

She swirled the tea round with a silver spoon

Making circles with a flick of her fingers 

(oh, what circles did we make indeed!)

A gentle eyelash

Probably in search of an adventure

Tired of living on her eyes

(now, is it possible to ever be tired of her? Foolish eyelash)

Bid adieu to his family and friends

And fluttered off into the mercy

Of the Harsh elements

Landing softly onto my tea

Hardly a ripple.

The verandah quietens

The Sun forgets to scowl

I look down at my tea

I see a reflection of me

And

Two eyelashes

Adorning my tea.

Now tell me, folks

Wouldn't it be foolish 

Of me to say

I am alone?

Author's Note

Anyone up for a cup of Darjeeling tea?

Tks, I'm ready for my morning cup of tea now! (It's 7:40 am here now) This is a really fun and cute write from a very personable perspective. It is cute, and I hope you take that as a compliment and not a belittling word. Can I make a suggestion? I think it would look better if you used a different font; this one is pretty hard to see, the bold letters seem to mash together. It does not, however, detract from the piece's content. Very nice write! take care...dan

Thank you for your kind words, Dan! A cup of tea anytime on me it is :) I do apologise for the font, and am glad to hear it did not affect your valued review of this piece. Have a good day ahead, looking forward to your new works!

Count me in for the chai! :P
And the poem was so delicately beautiful.
It is indeed the little things that count and just when you think you're alone, your lover's eyelash drops you a visit!
Good job Tejash!
