How to Eat Rice?

“How to Eat Rice?”

The sweetest answer is:
tenderly.
Let it lead you
to the field of yesterdays,
where hopes and fears were planted.

Listen, carefully,
for the burst of histories,
as they reveal themselves
grain by grain,
bite by bite,
breath by breath.

Hold its hands,
as it morphs
into the mother of milk,
heavily pregnant
with memories,
aromas,
missions.

Do not swallow;
let her flow
to the playground of time,
where the child of tomorrows
awaits,
grows,
multiplies.

Tasty Geneva

“Tasty Geneva”

A luscious day,
A lazy walk,
A hawk in the sky.

A crispy breeze,
A peaceful path,
A heart hungry to try.

A roast rainbow,
A glowing lake,
A well-baked scene.

Never tasted a city,
So spicy,
Yet so serene.

In quaint kitchen of piquant people,
One’s shielded from bitter tears and trouble.

With balsamic magic of hand-picked Geneva,
Life is as sweet and rich
As a Swiss chocolate bar.

Yum!
