Our Love is Like Curry

Our love is like a bowl of curry Sour and salty, then sweet and spicy It lingers and savors slowly Explodes a burst of umami Perhaps the lemongrass and lime Gives aroma of our passing time What is life if you're not mine? A lonely shrimp floating on a brine It is often misunderstood A healthy meal doesn't taste so good But affection that is unwooed Is unreal as cheap fast food As I took a sip of tamarind juice A peak of pleasure it produced My heart melted and infused Knowing your love I'll never lose This is our love story That sees beyond taste and beauty True love shall never hurry But waits until it's ready
