From the outskirts, reaching through numbing heartache and indecision
Stutter steps trip my tongue, at the loosened trestle of the front door
Uncertain entrance into my imagination’s lair, or cozy arms to rest
Yet the shiver at my back peeks attention, through honesty my only clothes

A bowl of greens, woven strength and filling hollows growling out
Warmed in smile that seems to melt away of hard and hankered grains
A recipe that has creation in its steams, maple in its oatmeal…juicy fruits
Dribbled down my neck as I nibble, you fingerpaint the sweet trails

Something let delivered into passages on gentle ears and open hearts
As uncertainty becomes a simple seasoning in a generous bowl
And what has partisan the taste of fascination and promise
Forming mustache on my smile and a bow around my quest

"As uncertainty becomes a simple seasoning in a generous bowl"


That sentence alone is brilliant!

Very interesting read.  I'm keeping this one to read when I'm all alone later on.

Nice subtle two minds as one almost food art by the sound of it

I liked it
