:: Bitter sweet ceylon tea - TB
My dream, in a teacup, needs stirring.
I sip and decide it’s too bitter.
I add sugar and realise it’s now too sweet.
I actually liked it more when it was bitter.
Now it’s a bitter sweet ceylon tea, that’s right.
Should I just leave this one to go cold like the last?
What if i drink every last drop and end up hating the pictures with leaves?
:: Wings - KC
What I am going to be today,
I decided in a dream last night.
It was by tripping too close
to the edge of an abyss
and falling down into it,
I discovered I'm winged.
N.B.:
- TB's official residence is Under the Toadstool. I like to imagine I'm his winter house.
- These poems are shared with The Real Toads
- Kensi 'n' Tom EP artwork by KC.
Beautiful, whimsical, touching poetry. Well done to both artists!
ReplyDeleteyou've always been winged, Kenia ~
ReplyDeleteAren't you the sweetest thing? <3 Thanks Michael.
DeleteStirring a dream in a teacup is a delightful image. It makes me think of The BFG.
ReplyDeleteGreat discovery at the end of Wings. A little unexpected, even though I red the title.
"My dream, in a teacup, needs stirring" -- I love your play on meaning :)
ReplyDeleteBoth are vivid and interesting, Kenia, told with a personable voice that one feels immediately close to. Thanks. K. Manicddaily
