Love Like Salt


Love me like salt
That seasons every dish
In pale pink granules
The last remains of a forgotten sea
Turning meals from fodder to feast
Vapid existence to vibrant scintillating fire
With this spice of life
My love for you and yours for me



Written for dVerse

    So true - salt is the essence, just like love.

    Salt - you really notice when it's not there, right?

    I like the sensuality in this Quadrille and I especillay like teh line:
    'The last remains of a forgotten sea' - it's easy to forget that is where the ancients got their salt.I prefer seasalt.

    Chefs do say that salt enhances the taste of things....I love a green apple with salt!
    I love the directive of that first line! :)
