Amber Heaven
Sweetness clings to tea spoons,
amber heaven gleaming in
the early morning light.
It hangs, reluctant to depart,
then flows slowly down
toward my brewed fortification.
The load delivered, a thin remainder
tempts me, and I plunge it
into my mouth.
Thoughts of you flood my mind
as concentrated joy explodes,
leaving me with sticky lips
and a smile.
