A Cup of Tea

A Cup of Tea-I

Far beyond the horizon
Tearing the thin sheet of my sound sleep apart
When the rooster sang a song of dawn coming
Beauty of the dawn Sign of the day to come
Waking me up
Pours in the cup of dark sky
A glow of the Dawn
A cup of tea

A day in my life
For completion of my daily works orderly
My beloved will shake my body
Tired of deep sleep in the night before
And put in my front
A Cup of Tea
So sweet taste of the morn
A cup of Tea

A Cup of Tea-II

Being tired of daily works I did
So weak my hands and legs
With support of my time
As walking stick in my hand
My footsteps reach my home With signs of the eve to come
And far away in the west
A flock of egret comes back to his nest
The day then turns back
The lady of eve in the west
Pours in the cup of blue sky
Sign of the day gone and the night to come
A glow of the Eve
A cup of tea

Resting on the green field mattress
Seeing me tired of my hard works
The sweet smiles of my beloved
Greet me with her expressions of
A deep love
A cup of Tea

My dried lips taste of difference
My tiredness vanished from my face
How pleasant the feelings and freshness I share
The beauty of the Eve
A Cup of Tea

A Cup of Tea-III

The greenery of the nature
That flourishes the beauty of the spring
Inside the sweet fragrance of flowers
The Winds whistle
In rhymes that
A couple of birds sing
Sweet dreams in my mind Turning the pages of my life
I blossom inside me then
In my hands
A cup of Tea
So sweet the taste I admire
Beyond my belief
Every seconds of my life
Trickle down the juices of my whole life
A cup of tea

Truly not only water
Seven colors of the Spectrum
In the cup of the sky that poured
The beauty of the Rainbow
I thanked myself for
The pure success of my life
A cup of Tea

A Cup of Tea-IV

Every seconds of my life
Make me enjoy
The flavor with a difference with
A cup of tea

Clear waters of the springs
And nine sweet herbs and plants
From the Himalayan forests
Indigenously boiled with sugar
To the point by sun deepened
In the teapot of the Blues
My nostrils smell the sweet fragrances
From the Nature of the Earth
Unveiling every aspects of my life
To the eternity

To elude total bitterness from my life
My lady pours in
The essences of herbs
As stimulant to my life
A cup of tea
