Sated in Thought

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,
