Meals of Memories

Surrounded by wonderful aromas
But all I tasted was sorrow

I choke your favorite meal down
As your memory wets my eyes

How is everyone hungry 
When you've just died

I know I must eat
To go on living

But what is the point of life
If you aren't doing it with me

Abigail, Stopping by with a nice, sweet Welcome to Poetry Soup. I will get much delight, in reading and in time become familiar with your verse. As for now, I will greet you with the same smile, others passed, when I first join the soup 4 years ago. I wish you the best when it comes to your compositions. I hope you get to meet all the nice poets around here. Starting with me. SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you wish. I would like to be your newest poetry soup "FRIEND" Hugs* SKAT
