A delicious dance
In my kitchen
I contemplate a new mix,
a special combination
with heightened flavours.
The perfected recipe.
At last, a chance
to bite into real love!
The thrill of discovery
I’ve tried unsuccessfully
to master, for years.
Many times before,
I tried blending,
picking ingredients
so carefully…
impatiently
stirring the pot.
But I wrongly used
wooden utensils –
failed to find
the perfect dish,
until you added
that extra dash.
That mysterious tang
which previously
eluded my search –
the ultimate formula.
Tempting my taste buds,
leaving them bereft
of that special essence;
everlasting love.
You are the recipe
and lust the icing
on my now perfected
carrot cake of life.
