The Bitter Twang Of The Tea Poem by sreelekha premjit

The Bitter Twang Of The Tea



the bitter twang of the tea
brewed for half an hour
stirred and bubbled enough
to a muddy tawny texture
coats the tongue
stains the teeth
and the cup in which it sits
the after taste of lost expectations
a rudderless life
an arrow that missed
a desire that remained unfulfilled
a sense of loss
and
a realisation of never being able to make up
