coffee cups and teapots on tables alone with mem’ries unmasked in feelings undone lift high the spirit as moods do bemoan the heart cries of stories that slowly are spun in the dust-craven mind, set into stone etchings of time, carvings by those whom time has forgot, tons of remembrance in ounces of prose words fall as leaves turned into dust and that which recalls not the woes of tea stained cups or soft brown mugs dipped in conversation, rift by shrugs as memories muddle, cream and sugar please |

Its amazing what a simple tea or coffee cup can hold isnt it. Well written. "Death cannot stop true love, all it can do is delay it for a while" The Princess Bride |

You made me smile. My mother has some old tea cups in her hutch. They once were her great great grandmothers. She would throw them over the porch railing if the tea was not the perfect temperature. She must have been heck to live with - but some of the old china teacups were found under an old porch that was being dismantled decades later. Alison |

I love the feel of this... I too have a coffee conversation family. There are times when I peruse garage sales and such for pieces that remind me of good memories. Clever write!  |
