Even though you may not be looking, always believe that love is cooking.
Quote - Poet’s own
Bake love each day the whole of your life Mixed with fervour and all kinds of spice Everything you've ever hungered for Hopes, dreams, wishes and all you adore. Stir in measureless ardent passion Sprinkle on top some sweet compassion Simmer slowly on the lowest heat ‘Til your heartbeats are on the increase. Then turn the temperature way up Whilst drinking wine from the loving cup Prepare the aura ready to eat Soft music, dim lights during the feast. Tempt palates with a special delight Of afters that please the appetite Just as we need food so we may live We’re all in need of love to exist. I hope you will test my recipe It truly has done wonders for me.
