Tea for two?

the first cup of the day is always the best. waking up with a blinding headache, a nose so full I can't breath, and a face as red as a beetroot, my thoughts turn to one thing - the miracle cure for everything. A cup of tea.

Did I mention I make the best tea in the world.

One day maybe I'll make you one.

So you can taste the delight of all that is mine,

As we sip it in the  morning sun.

 

But will that day ever come?

Your miles away and out of reach.

I want you to sample my favourite things,

a flask of tea on a cold morning beach.

 

From China, India or Ceylon,

Brewed in a cup with little hearts on.

I painted that mug soley for you,

those little hearts and mine you have won.

 

Tea for two? not right now

I'm drinking by myself.

Surrounded by people I know and I love

But one cup is left on the shelf.

 

My head is pounding, my voice quite horse

But you're not here to care for me.

So instead I'll cure all my ailments

With a cup of milky tea.

Oh I was meant to be sick today haha!
I'm also sick & guess what the first thing is I had to make me better? Tea!
Such a great poem, sad, but with an amusing tone to it.
Your style of writing so far as I can see (first time I've read your work) is really catchy, really creative & smart.
Really stunning write!

Don't worry it's not lame. I think it' cute. It's a saddening poem. I mean, imagining yourself drinking tea alone to quench someone's presence, well, that's sad. But what I like about this is the hint of hope you've weaved between the lines. It's like you're saying, that someday there won't be anymore extra cup because that person would already be there drinking with you. Great Job. The concept has this innocent feeling to it. While circling around the topic of drinking a cup of tea, you've also tackled about the feeling of not having someone by your side. Well done.

Keep Writing. ^___^
