The Spice Of Life

 'Add to me those minted corianders,

Tinted green leaves, varying every herb

Species.

To be carried away in green cardamom

Dreams,

Is to float in the zest of orange spicy

Creams.

To fight against urges is to steady the

Cuisine and do what we must.

To bathe in the warmth of ginger drop

Puddles are to swim for your life in

Savory cuddles.

To blend myth in the caves of surprise,

Is to gather the taste that thrives in

Your eyes.

To climb into the mist of coriander

Green hills is to sharpen the senses

With peppercorn pills.

To stoke the hungry fire of a garlic

Grinning mouth is to furnish the

Culinary essences of the south.

To find your way home on a wintery

Dark day is to remember those spices

That lit your way!'
