Tete-a-Tete
Ladylike I sit beside you,
Playfully adding some sweetness.
I crave for you;
Without doubt,
You are my weakness.
Hot as a volcano,
You arouse my thirst.
Every evening we two flirt.
Addicted to you,
I can't resist you on my lips.
Shimmering and boiling,
We just click.
When you are in my hands,
Even a hectic day sounds a spree.
What else can make my day?
Than a refreshing cup of tea.
*Tete-a-Tete is a French word for a private conversation between two people. And, this conversation is between a lady and her cup of tea. A sweet dedication to all tea lovers. Cheers!
Nice, warm start to a day! :) Lovely as usual.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a lovely Christmas week!
Oh wow.. I was reading it with a great sense of romance till the end, only to know that its about a refreshing cuppa tea! Its very nice and definitely a great read to start my day :)
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Anand

ReplyDeleteOK...for a minute there the picture and the poem send wrong signals into my brain. You are a teaser aren't you? From a fellow tea lover, totally agree! Nothing like a cup a tea. :)
ReplyDeleteI love tea, just one or two cups a day but then I need the tea. It was lovely misleading and leading to tea kind of poem. Loved your naughtiness there LOL

Even a hectic day sounds a spree." that is so true. it is the best instant stress buster when u want a break from work:P

ReplyDeleteLike so many else out there, I love your blogs and the tea.. Without a cup of tea, I cannot start my day fresh! Lovely dedication :)

ReplyDeleteAww.. thats so sweet a poem :)
ReplyDeleteI so need this hot like a volcano tea in this winter.
ReplyDeleteAnd the poem warms me up in the same way as a refreshing cup of tea would. :)

Hey Saru...
ReplyDeleteThe poem's title attracted me as I lived in France for 2 years and I love the language.
And then...oh! my addiction-TEA...was with the French language...two super things together, so beautifully expressed.
Good one!
By the way, who inspired what? The tea or the guy...come on, dont try to hide :-)
Lovely! I am wondering if the poem is about the guy or the tea:P
ReplyDeleteHa! Ha! Ha! Great Suspense...
ReplyDeleteSo sweet!:-)
