Hot Chai
Hot Chai
The dawn of light,
A new day shining bright,
Morning blues, a hangover from the previous night,
From the deepest slumber to the reality that bites,
A strong fragrance awakens his drooping eyes,
And he takes a sip of hot Ginger Chai.
Messy house, clothes to wash,
Vessels in the sink, hungry mouths,
Tired, irritated, frustrated,
A minute break to jump-start is all that needs
Recharged, energized, let's out a de-stressed sigh,
As she sits on her favorite couch and sips in her hot Elichi Chai.
Audits, Reviews, meetings at stretch,
Deadlines due, budget low, the situation is wretched,
Calm and composed, yet alert and focused,
He jots a plan, hopes rise high,
While sipping-in the Hot Dalchini Chai.
Sitting on a bench, in a narrow lane,
Two hearts full of love, bodies drenched in rain,
A promise, a proposal, a moment to forever cherish,
A treat of crunchy kharis and nankatai to relish,
Pockets almost empty, yet tears of happiness in the eyes,
They cling their glasses
And sip into the Hot Masala Cutting Chai.
