Relaxed on the porch I try not to scorch
my lap with this fluid aroused by a torch
which clamored to steep these leaves that I heap
whose tendrils of flavor will pleasantly seep—
ringlets of steam like mist from a dream
entice me to try something other than cream
so I sweeten my stein with bumblebee wine
and savor each drop, your hand clasped in mine.

Dude, this is just sweet.
I love tea with my honey, also.

Was it the tea or the company that tasted so sweet? Nicely done.
A very sweet home coming indeed! I'm a coffee addict myself but you make tea sound good! Beautifully written and very sweet.
