Cooking As An Act Of Love
To cook for one is kinda blue.
Ah, but to cook for two
brings out my best, and benefits you.
I love a saute that sings a duet.
And cooking with you spices me up…
it’s intimate, succulent (though, on occasion, I do get truculent);
our executions, old or new, of culinary creations lead us on to interesting liberations.
Sometimes you create, I fulfill.
Sometimes I create and you translate (your palette’s so much more versed).
We make a little symphony…
I play to you, you play to me, the pieces becoming something greater,
in sympathy with the universe, always a blessing in the outcome of our guessing.
And there’s power in the making of our own fresh fare; we don’t care
if no one’s there to impress – this is for you, this is for me, and we always share.
