your fingers trace the rim of your cup,
steam rises between us like unspoken words,
i watch you sip slowly, deliberately,
morning light makes your skin glow;
you set the cup down with a gentle clink,
our eyes meet across the small table,
your smile tells me everything i need,
my pulse quickens like monsoon rain;
you rise and walk toward me,
hips swaying like temple bells,
your saree falls just right,
i'm already reaching for you;
our bodies fit like puzzle pieces,
your breath warm against my neck,
we move together like ocean waves,
everything else disappears completely;
afterwards we lie still and quiet,
your head rests on my chest,
the tea has gone cold but we don't care,
this is how love tastes best.
