Cilantro's Molest

Delicately smoke stacks rose in tendrils
From my lobotomised mind, tracks of steam
Channels which searched for surrendour 
Teased unfamiliar air aflame, eventual glean

Chances which blind chases never uncovered 
Now relaxed stance soul caresses confirm
Worth in the venture for connections recovered
Ratified tangible textures of trust returned

Sharply sprung tongue sprig of marjoram burst
Sends corresponding signals sweet salty
Cardboard dry enclosure summoned my thirst
Seasoned with fish fall apart white sultry

Flipped on my untrained pallette, ripe silk drips 
Nourished throat thrums an unsung tempo 
New reward captured bite butters impatient lips 
Slippery flesh accosts a switched off depot

Aniseed's dark unrivalled flavour pinnacle 
Nasal travelled spice kidnaps bland indecision 
Abrupt acetic fingers, processing difficult 
Held captive by capers strange punch derision 

Ambience clink clanks cutlery's untimed tune
Calls faithful patronage who pay in blood
Inner soft lobsters promise flesh of high noon
Claw shards pave a love path summoned
