Tea For Three as sleep departs to whence it came with the creaking dawn of each day I resolve to make for you three cups of tea the morning’s tea shall be bitter to remind us of the hardships of life, the sharpness of regret and the challenges lying ahead the tea of the afternoon shall be sweet to imbue our love with fragrance, sustain our passion with energy and caress the affection of our souls the evening’s tea shall be plain, neither bitter nor sweet, as we pray for a gentle death and a fair reward for our endeavour "All poets are mad." - Robert Burton |

Bitter,sweet and plain....sounds like life as well. We only know how sweet it is because we have had the bitter....I like the thoughts in this poem. Death comes not when we cease to breathe, but when we cease to dream. |

Very well done and very interesting. Held my attention right through. Do you have any apple cinnamon?  ~I've loved you forever, in lifetimes before~ |
