A smile blooms like a rose
kissed by the sun
The heart melts at the sight
of spaghetti with shitake
smoke transporting
the aroma of garlic enticing
nostrils awaiting
the landing of bites
on a mouth anticipating
delight to alight
from a forkful of noodles
thoughtfully al dente
drenched with a sauce
of love served
on a plate.
(For Carlos Perion/25 April 2007/2: 37 to 2: 40 P.M.)
