HOT CHILLI.
Dear Dinta,
You're the very flames of hell,
And I am an unworthy sinner,
Your's for consumption oh chilli pepper.
Your pose is like that of a beautiful snake,
A deadly mamba on the midday sun,
I am the careless foot,
Strike a bite.
Your smile is a lure,
Like bait on a twine,
Unresisting to a fish like mine,
Dangling, calling for just a bite.
For what crime do I deserve this fire,
Is it for the flat tommy?,
The dimples at both ends?,
Or the Everest behind that never rest.
You prove false to the saying that the glory of a woman is her hair.
I will count cautious the very beads on your waist,
Like an IMAM saying prayers,
Like a devoted catholic over his rosery.
There's a hunger in here,
And the diet is but one,
Far I shall travel,
For a dish like HOT CHILLI.
I accidently ate some chilli seeds
That fell into my tea,
I went screaming and shooting through the roof
And landed in the sea.
My dearest mum yelled “You’ll burn your mouth!”
While hopping about like a flea,
But I left not a single seed to waste
And Lost my sense of taste.
It’s well over a decade now,
But my mind always reads:
I accidently ate some chilli seeds
That fell into my tea

Chilli crab meal for three
Dinner fare sweet-spicy
Fresh seafood spread looks good
A feast for feisty moods
Around square table we
Indulge hunger freely
Sit round and watch TV
Discuss plot and story
This special meal delights
As appetites take flight
Clara feels happy moods here
A brief homecoming cheer
Lotus root and bean soup
Warm and bubbly recoup
A family meal peaks
Much more than words can speak
In thought and feel and act
We fashion joy in fact

hot and passionate
waves burning with deep desire
chilli pepper kiss
chilli peppers

autumn wind
Not for the contest,but thanks Andrea
for your inspiration

I have a seatbelt and a helmet in the loo
Eating chilli, precaution is a have to
With the flame from my rear
It was any mans fear
The G force in a spit second was zero to mach 2
