The aroma did not fill the room
as I opened the box.
It was cold
and odourless
yet
melted in the mouth.
In the hundredth part of a second
I could see her
grating the carrots
for hours
thickening the milk
for hours
compounding them
for hours
To make it reach me
the way it
melted in the mouth.
And my heart
melted in the eyes.

The two of them
had one face
one voice
one skin
Yet they were two.
I loved one of them
but the other said
he loved me.
And said
that both were one.
And I thought
I loved both
conjecturing
that both were one.
He tricked
He tore
then left.
I cried with the rains
I moaned with the winds
before I felt
the warmth.
The two of them
had one face
one voice
one skin
Yet they were two.
The one I loved
was still with me
holding my hand.

The gold in your ears
were the gold on your cheeks
That diamond nosepin
did split itself
to fit into your eyes
Your expensive scarlet robe
was less brilliant
than the colour of your face.
They all stood in admiration
And he
was overwhelmed
to have found you.
That was an year ago.
Today
The gold stays in the locker
And the diamond
has turned black
and watery.
The scarlet has left the face
and slipped down
leaving artistic imprints
all over.
Its intresting
how it changes into blue,green and pink
and sometimes black
Admiration has changed its rhetoric
But he
is still overwhelmed
to have found you.
