Please put passionate pesto upon my plate,
it's pure poetry for the tongue;
a starving stomach is in need of sate.

Growing sweet basil
upon winter’s windowsill,
is a Chef’s aromatherapy, if you will.

A royal herb, the
ancient Romans believed
it held one’s vows
to a higher standard.

Keat’s Isabella gave it
heady thoughts and fears,
watering it deeply
with sorrow’s tears.

Old English lore claims basil doth
protect against a witches brew,
but I haven’t asked which witch
might know if this is true.

Hindus believe this spice to be
a passport to Paradise,
or so I read while I did study
books on herbal remedies.

so please, put pesto on my plate,
for this passionate palette is always aware
there’s more to life than marinara sauce,
a pasta’s much more common fare.

Poetry relief. Enjoyed this a lot.

If nothing is something
then everything is
our thoughts and feelings
and all that exists.
