Strained
and measured,
lain in the boil
of anticipation --
I simmer,
sated in thought,
spiced sparse,
steaming through
sultry lips.

I agree with Butterflydreams. I liked the way you made the tea be the one that speaks. Hmmmm...I guess I will be listening to my cup from now on
Best wishes in the contest,
