A Cup Of Tea Poem by Austin Warwick

Calm Or Storms In Lost Forgotten Tea Cups the house is lost in a tide high sea of overgrown grass a Spanish galleon sunk in a storm wild under the sea manicured flower beds long since swept away in weeds trees shrubs grown deranged even invade over fences in an abandoned kitchen is dust lost a forgotten tea pot in ritual circle of daily tea cups were told family tales who knows now value amassed credit past hidden triumphs so much was expressed said or not said over a cup of tea common place happenings life tide old joys grief hopes life is laced with dice roll pain break ups heart aches who knows what would will happen if truth whispers masterfully revealed hidden pain nail words tsunamis Copyright © Terence George Craddock Inspired by the poem 'A Cup Of Tea' by Austin Warwick. Dedicated to the poet Austin Warwick.

'Who knows what will happen. If they know your in pain.' so much is expressed, said or not said, over a cup of tea, while the hidden pain was masterfully revealed with the lines 'Keep quiet. So they don't know you're crying. Sip your tea. Don't spill' just before those nailing words 'Who knows what will happen' which fit so well pain break ups, heart aches... 10+
