Tea the way you like it
A poem

Tea the way you like it,
With the milk, boiled to a caramel colour,
Bit darker than the colour of my skin,
Bit sugary like your eyes on me.
Tea the way you like it, it reminds me:
And when you take that sip,
The pale of your lips touching the tea,
The moist trace it leaves behind,
Somewhere inside me your eyes,
Leave a familiar moist and unfamiliar warmth.
