Jasmine Tea

Searching for the words
To let you know
I consider you
A perfect work of art
Studying the curves
And the brush strokes
Every inch is
Easily my favorite part

Trying to be smooth
But you shake my spine
I am coloring outside your lines

Lifting your cup
Stirring me up
Look what you’ve done to me
Taking a sip
Making me wish
I was your jasmine tea

Shrugging off the chill
from your shoulder blades
You can’t scare me with
Your bark or your frostbite
Knowing it’s the thrill
Of the coldest days
That make it better
When it’s warm inside

Trying to be cool
But you’re so much heat
I am melting at your feet

Trying to be sweet
but you twist my tongue
ohhh just look what you’ve done
