She Clarifies Bacon Grease

she clarifies bacon grease to make the popcorn once it is in the bowl add seasoning with butter a tad of garlic, sea salt, sugar the layers of flavor are a paradise scattered in each morsel this means a romantic movie tonight probably one we have seen quite often i never tire of this holding her hand as she tears with each tear, i fall in love again she finds ways to make vegetables tempting baked, fried, steamed, an array of seasoning appetizers of soft cheese, celery, small sausages while the cheese brings a subtle creamy softness the celery mixes in fiber and mild juices then assaulted by the piquant sausage as it races upon my pallet masticating this admixture i become a contented bovine mindlessly working the promised pasture ruminating before i must surrender heavens touch to the stomach that precious smile she wears watching that consuming ecstasy as a soft moan of pleasure escapes me they sit upon a thin elongated rectangular plate which rests between two slim vases one has a red rose, the other is pink she never varies in that arrangement red is her undying love for me pink is her gratitude to God for our love while colors never change she will add different meanings at times which she announces after grace you are more than just a loving chef you are the romantic that inspires me you are the poet in the kitchen whose depth lives within so many levels i never tire of gazing upon her she is the third rose at dinner my Blue rose, the unobtainable is obtained, the chimera realized each bite i take is another sonnet she has carefully crafted in that enchanting cauldron those soft moans escaping onto her smile have become my book of best-loved poems 1/16/19 Kismet
