The Taste Of.... Poem by ellery lim

The taste of home
Like a cylindrical stone
Trapped and enclosed
Never ending never free
The taste of the past
To see how much time has passed
Like a never ending line
We will never see its tail
The taste of the future
Now a miniature
For it holds aspirations
Accomplishments and failures
The taste of failure as I lie here
Fallen and lost
Can’t tell whether I was dead or alive
The taste of joy
Whoever could spoil?
The honey sweet feeling kept long in my heart
The taste of love
The one who is worth
Like a ship
Rocky yet thrilling
The taste of life
In sadness or blithe
All the sweet and sour
All the joy and laughter
