Best Tasting Poems

Hold it; let it breathe; it grows better with time.
Ignoring its colors is a crime!
Sniff and swirl it for a sign.
Inhale. Sip. Divine!
Slurp! Savor
wine.
The flavor
that comes from YOUR vine
is more enhanced when you dine -
finding balance.  Life can be sublime!
Hold it; let it breathe;...

On a sunny day
The sun shining bright
It suddenly pours rain 
this seldom happens

As suddenly the rain 
Stops pouring downward
It quickly stops
then a rainbow is seen

Pondering the taste
Of all the colours
I reached up to taste
the rainbow

Blue-taste like grape
White -peppermint
Yellow - lemon
Green-lime
Orange-orange
Red-cherries
These are the colours I have...

A zephyr skipped along, midday,
      Rose-daubed my cheek in ides of May,
         As if to goad, and giggling, say -
   'My lad, this moment's wasting ...
Such zest waits for the...

A foyer of light's light
smiling loved ones to the side
a peace beyond earthly peace
a peek into the afterlife
e=mc2 is meaningless 
here
miracles are commonplace
if only we could open up and see them
the stem of the water lily
thin ribbons to heaven
gateways to eternity.

The flesh is brief
shed the...

I am the wind
the textured curl of clouds
those specks of glitter
silver and gold are my
illustrative gleams

the foiling wings
that flutter and flap
feathers ripe with color

complementing all rosy hills
a rolling kiss a splash of
blush a dash of spicy dish
the pepper and the salt
of a morning's stirring serving

       "Tasting Bliss"




a tender touch ignites romance
fluttering flames create love dance
gentle caresses, tasting bliss,
intoxicates juice of sweet kiss
as hearts entwine, hypnotic trance.

Outside your window
I waited as in a dream.
There beneath your sill
whilst in my most int'mate thoughts...
Again we were tasting bliss....

Today I tasted joy.
If fact I tasted my way through the whole day.
Not full course offerings or overindulgent dessert platters, 
Just a quiet time, my housecoat, china mug and me.
My husband was here somewhere.
Occasionally he passed by my peripheral vision, nibbling quietly.
I enjoyed solitude, a...

Closer now, your breath in my hair,
Leaning in for our first kiss.
Touch of lips, too exquisite to bear.
Now, at last, tasting bliss.
My breathing and heartbeat, both amiss.

Eyes are for seeing.
Ears are for hearing.
Noses are for smelling and breathing
both in and out.
Mouths are for tasting
both bitter hard
and sweet soft truths,
trusts and mistrusts,
cooperations and competitions,
cultures of health and pathology,
climates benign and toxic,
and all sensory flavors between
balance and imbalance.

We reseed universal spirits
in remembered knitting...

Your homemade wine tastes pleasantly neat,
An aromatic, crisp, nutty treat,
But we agree among us,
It tastes a bit like fungus,
Tell us. Why do you have purple feet?

Why? Does my wine leave fuzz on your tongue?
Make it part of it's praises you've sung.
Oh please Comitia, hush!.
stop yelling...

I'm tasting the petals and hymn.
It's hard to know where to begin.
Except when my brain falls out and my hate comes in.
I'm tasting the petals and hymn.

I'm tasting the petals and hymn.
I just don't know where to begin.
This time it's my hate that's out and...

Instead of breathing air--It is tears I take in.
I can feel them, taste them.

How does one taste their tears…
They slip down your throat when
One weeps on the inside all day.

It has been so long since I heard his voice
I repeat in my head, his last...
