Cooking With Love Poem by Sadashivan Nair

She takes two long chillies,
Potatoes and some beans;
Chops them and
Dips into gram Flour paste,
Mixed with pepper, salt;
Dips her finger,
Tastes solution;
Face gets red,
Burning tongue turns red,
Tears rain from red eyes,
As if she were sad;
Yells in bitter pain,
Ooh... lala, shoo...soo... hot;
Smiles a bit,
And thinks in mind;
My man will jump,
From dining seat;
Puts some hearty cream
In the pan;
Heats in burning stove,
Puts some love sauce,
Adds some chopped,
Romantic herbs,
Garlic, onion and sexy spice;
Dreams her past,
Cheerful moments with him;
Dips spoon, licks to taste,
Puts back spoon to pan,
While in smile;
And whispers no, no, not yet,
Adds more love sauce;
Over and over
She dips spoon and licks,
Then puts back in the pan;
Whispers in doubt....
There is something missing;
Finally adds her romantic sole;
Wow! Walla! Now it's ready,
For anniversary candle light;
