My Cup of Tea

 Strands of mind intertwined through time,

By the long and lovely years we spent. 

Together are our hearts, actions and intentions

Even if we lie miles apart in lament.

No pain of mine hurts you any less 

Than any wound of yours, 

It has grown over time, a love like a crime 

Making every moment of wait harder to ensure.

The bed of sleep, where desires grip

 Now a dream of darkness & hunger,

 Never thought of a day, where you come to play

 With my hidden, fragile, wonder. 

A game of hide & seek, where ecstasy weeps 

And the promises you lovingly keep. 

Provoking my madness to ruminate further, 

Where our control threatens to slip.

Yet we knowingly walk the tight rope of affection 

Relishing the challenge of the heat, 

Where none of us knows the end or the shore 

Just choosing each other in a heartbeat.
