Flavors of You

You left your cup on the kitchen sink.

It was still filled with your sustenance.

There it stood, staring at me so plainly

that I finally lifted it to my mouth

and rested my kiss on the rim.

I tasted you again.

Nothing wakes me up in the morning

quite like a glass of you.

It was like a burst of molten sun--

an explosion of tartness

spreading itself sweetly across my palette.

I swear, the rim of your cup is sacred.

So after I sipped from your morning brew,

I left it alone in the basin.

It's waiting for you to lift your flavor

from its Holy surface.

I'll sip again of your sweet mouth tomorrow.

Mom and I have a tendency to want to taste whatever my Dad has in front of him. He has a way of making any food or drink look absolutely delicious. Of course, I know what I think about whenever I sip from my Dad's cup, but I wondered what goes through Mom's head when she does it.
