Essence

Essence

A precious gift winged back graciously with a newfound comrade

Requested, admittedly, but despite that still nicely played

Tiny little thoughtful gestures, building bridges, setting scenes

Providing succour, nourishing, customising host cuisines

What begins as a love/hate relationship makes us braver

This is now a comfort, familiar and homely savour

More heartfelt, problematic and contentious than mere flavour

Let me open your secrets and won’t you come to my aid?

Darker and scarier than multitudinous Halloweens

It’s a matter of taste, I insist, my point to belabour
