Thyme and Lavender Time
Thyme and Lavender, in time to purify where Earth meets feet,
Bathed in springs, so soothing and sweet.
Nature's spirituous spices give blessings,
And they're forever making the winds refreshing.
Wise chefs blend the cauldron of spices,
Herbal passages to culinary horizons.
Kin to mint, Thyme's a delight to nature's family.
Thyme is said to guard against ancient immunity.

Spices of Resilience
"In the depths of my mind, a lover did dwell
A dark companion, with thoughts that would compel
Me to doubt and fear, to lose my way
But I found the strength to face him, come what may
He whispered lies, and fueled my pain
But I rose up, and refused to be tamed
I searched for a way to break

Unfinished Poems
All poems are unfinished
Only those in sonnet are finished
Completed, done, and terminated
A poem can still be edited
Revised, retouched and rewritten
A poem is a powerful tool or weapon
Leave alone my unfinished poems
These are my spices, my stars, my emblems
You don't understand their symbols
And the words used to fill up the bowls
You just have to read my

Spices of Life
Divine decorum in dealings,
Dearly feelings;
Deep prayer beads,
Daring good deeds...
Eagerly expectant pure heart,
Evils apart;
Exuberance,
Effervescence...
Love beyond all settled foundations,
Long relations;
Loyal graces,
Living embraces...

Marvelous Herbs
"In all things of nature there is somethings of the marvelous." Aristotle
Marvelous Herbs
Herbs -
Nature’s
Marvelous
Gift of flavor -
Brightens the blandness
Of the ordinary -
Savory gracing tasteless -
Zest to nondescript dreariness -
Herbal wonders – healing remedies –
Seasoning’s magic to flavorless salt.

Applesauce Cake
Applesauce Cake
Once again autumn’s jubilee of gold and umber leaves
Drifts on a lazy Sunday morning rain
Past kitchen windows
Where scents of coffee and frying bacon
Walk hand in hand
Then race each other up the stairs
To look for dreamers missed by the dawn
While aunts and uncles,
Cousins, sisters, brothers,
Fathers, mothers
Squeeze side by side into the breakfast nook,
Touched by the

Cinnamon, Sage and Chili Powder Please
Cinnamon, sage and chili powder please
Not together certainly, but these are the spices in my cupboard
Chili powder is needed once or twice a week
because this is what my husband likes to eat.
I confess, I love it also.
Chili. Chili. Chili. Chili. Chili.
With potatoes and corn, lots of meat, and hot peppers.
Wait! He does not

Autumn Spices
Autumn spices, real pumpkin delight
All harmony of the season in the light
Leaves fall, those of many colors
I love the cool air, the brook waters
Time seems to stop when I’m here
In the space of Autumn and its sphere
There isn’t the heat, that which I hate
No snowflakes just yet, they’ll be late
But the life of the Fall

Spices and Things
I would give you my advices
If they weren't overpowered with spices
And things. Believe me, I hold
No control over these bold
Statements I make, nor the clever
Phrases and quips. I have never
Told a story of my own imagination—
No, 'tis the work of some abomination
Running amok in our sad homes.
They carry foreign, mysterious tomes
Filled with ghastly images and
