I my morning tea,
and when you looked at me
I could taste young marigold honey,
though there was none on the table
You spoke that word - "forever"
I said "Yes", that I would have the time
and am able
to go on sharing morning coffee,
and any tastes of honey
but here - there was none on the table..

The quiet surrender, the word play is dynamic coupled with the photography makes the whole piece one gorgeous read.
