Greed

The desire to sip some tea,

blowing on it gently.

Your smile in my eyes,


Like a forbidden prize.


The swirl of milky mist,


over the cup just kissed.


Crumbs lining your face,


a cookie leaving its trace.


The curl of a longing heart,


on the pain of being apart.


Fingers itching to close,


the distance that we chose.


Greed comes in many-a-shade,


Today, it chose to color me red.
