Sipping Chai

Most of us are creatures who have a daily beverage that we cannot do without. This one is for those tea lovers.

This is..

``Sipping Chai

 

The vapors of a cutting chai

Is the admixture

Of who knows how many

Grains of sugar, cardamoms

That ruminate fragrance

of crushed chai patthiis, refracting

The taste through the structure

Of a plain glass, then

When once touched

By parched lips

Pushes the deadlines,

Love, hate, stress, lies,

Drama, thoughts away

from senses.

 In any case, once in,

Flowing in rush, brushing

The insides, mixing

ever again, grazing

past the heart, pushing

The neurons to run upstairs

Ever so fast in haste

Baffled and confused

To send a message to

The eyes through the brain

To look up and see

The smile on the vendor's face.
