London Fog
I want to make you a drink in the morning.
Not coffee- because you don’t like the caffeine-
but I think that you could be a tea drinker.
Have you ever tried a london fog?
I will make you one.
I will take the mug out of the cupboard and heat the water until the pot hisses and squeals like an old cat.
I’ll pour it into a bright blue mug and throw in 2 bags of earl gray, let it steep, and finish it off with a drizzle of honey and milk.
I’ll froth some milk, with a little bit of sugar and vanilla, and swirl it over the top like a barista at the bougie high end cafe downtown.
I’ll hand you the bright blue mug and smile as you take a sip and I’ll kiss away the foamy milk that sticks like a burr to your upper lip.
I’ll ask you if you like it and you will say,
“yes, thank you it’s wonderful”,
and I will make it for you every morning afterwards until you confess that you really were never a fan, that you just wanted to make me smile.
We will giggle at our own silly nature and I will spend my extra few minutes each morning lying with you and listening to the gentle morning rain.

Hello, MM,
Tender and endearing. Simple, yet with great depth. The bright blue mug adds a personal touch. A loving conversation during a sweet moment, and beautiful poetry.
Thank you!

Lovely poem, I enjoyed the flow & making tea, it has a really nice feel to it. The simplicty of the poem is what makes it so good. Right, off to put the kettle on for a nice cup of tea, it has to be the dark deep colour of creosote. Ruby :) xx

I'm wondering if you have ever tasted Earl Grey tea?
Its a particularly foul brew with the sickly sweet nature of
Snow White in a whore house!
I've read a few of your poems, you are different, well done!
Obi.
