The Memory Of Taste

“Distraction is what I need” I thought. The smell in the overcrowded bus made me nauseous, the smell of sweat, tobacco and junk food. I tried to look outside for something to engage my mind but there were just more people. And then I knew what to think about for the rest of my journey to Dida(grandma)’s home.

A Little Piece Of Heaven

The delicious creamy taste of ice-cream fills my mouth, melting at the touch of my tounge giving me the shivers as it slides down my throat. The sweet sensation fills me up giving me a happy and satisfied feeling. Wanting more, I swiftly take more spoonfuls of this little piece of heaven and gobble it down.

Golden seeds flecked on the pitted skin.


A green top dripping with water,


Fresh in the sleepy glow.


There is no smell, nothing to incriminate


The lone bloodstain that sits mellow


On the cream plate below....

Pop

I can smell it cooking. The savory smell the aroma of garlic fill my nose. The sweetness of the carrots mixed with the soy sauce. All of it mixes together. The oil sizzles and pops. Who could want more. A drizzle of oil goes in. Pop pop sizzle....

Oranges 🍊

The tangy smell, bitter but sweet. The pure illumination of this fiery hue. The rough bumps of peeling, rugged but smooth, soft. Lovely entirety, daily pleasure of taste and smell. Happy feelings as consumed, zesty sweet all over. Beauty of complexion, satisfaction of scents. Perfect perfume. Heavenly fragrance. Joyful relish....

Worth Waking For

Sunlight filtered through the curtains, filling the room with warm golden glow. This was an unacceptable turn of events in Jacob’s mind so instead of embracing the day he dragged the blankets over his head, refusing to acknowledge it was morning. Val had other plans though and he felt the cool air invaded his blanket tent as she slid out of bed. Jacob groaned and made a halfhearted attempt to pull...
