#oolong
We drank a cup of Oolong tea, its forlorn fragrance wafts; atmosphere awkward with silence- ineloquent like writers first draft, this tea taste of grievance. Stumbling lips, we finally talk. Woeful, you asked me why I choose to leave and walk- bidding you with heartless goodbyes. My eyes fogged by tea’s heat; tears form like dews of rain, forehead furrows in sweat- emotions rich in pain. We drank a cup of Oolong tea, This moment I’ve long dread! Whirls of traumatic emotions had left me angry red- your actions were ghastly. For many years we did not speak. Bitterness brewed in tea, memories of the past all bleak, my self-esteem you’ve malign. Oolong aftertaste so unkind- our past painted with hurt! Will my emotions blurt to reveal repressed resentment? We drank a cup of Oolong tea, my mental assailant, I shall not fear your chide. The truth shall be revealed, no longer my voice shall hide!

Oolong Tea
Brewing. Steeping. The leaves of the crunchy, Dry, Oolong tea. The chocolatey aroma… So intoxicating Like a psychedelic dream. Auburn orange. Amber yellow. How these colors swirl within the tea cup. Dipping a spoon in to twirl it. Left. Right. Counterclockwise. At last, the tea was ready. Cool. Not too hot. Not too cold. Just right, like porridge. The girl was ready To savor the Lovely drink. She took the tea cup. In her delicate hands. Tipped it to her chapped lips. The warm liquid Glided. Smoothly. In her mouth. Down her throat. Her tongue wanting more. She smiled, Before continuing to Finish Her ravishing tea.
