Summer Cooking

In the glow from the slow flame of the gas oven In the red hue of the sweet melon stew In the pearl sweat drops of the labour of love In the looks of the stars in our eyes A savour, a pleasure, we are charmed we are warmed Outside The jasmine tree is making the handicraft of heart filling smell That tells The stories of curing the worries of our birds in the cages of lonely pages The guests Reflecting the restlessness of their tongues Following the flavour from the kitchen Rich in almond and honey Licky and yummy Much hoped rain soaked breeze arrives Hum the beehives The husbands and the wives The parents and the children The brothers and the sisters The boyfriends and the girlfriends The boy and the girl The summer kitchen swirl The dinner tables gurgle The gourmet summer meal from your hands The sands swaying in the ocean July 3, 2018
