Breakfast Nook - Collab with Einstein Noodle

"Where memories are made"

Set along the southeast walls a

corner begs fulfilling.

Creamy yellows fluttering through

linen from south of France,

covering the windows there. The

beginnings of our dance.

 

Our kiss tainted corner reminds me
Of French toast crumbs
I stole from your plate
Leaving my taste buds numb
While lavender honey drops on your cheek
Postponed our fate....and then some.

 

Plans we built together like 

heather on the moor

enchanting rich pale purple

hid peat and bones below.

My heart seems prone to darkness

how could we ever know

 

Your joie de vivre, like salt and pepper

spicing up our delectable brunch

I'll be your Bayonne ham, you, my rich Camembert -

into your soul, I peek to see lunch

with these eyes to no avail

should have listened to my hunch.

A beautiful romantic piece. I really like it how you set up the stage (that piece sounds like big E wrote :) the texture, the colors making it real. And then, the memories settle with the "kiss tainted corner" (which sounds like SV's line :) The reader knows, this is a place where not only delicacies of food were exchanged, but also kisses and caresses, laughter and promises.
And then.. then, the end.. the twist of a short lived romance, that is now just a memory. Excellent piece both of you!!

Excellent use of meter and metaphor in describing this encounter rich in flavour and spice but lacking substance lol!

[Einstein Noodle]

Thanks Anto!! Mind you.......was that previous picture of yours (bangers and mash) breakfast, or lunch? This side of the Atlantic we just have so many more options for breakfast than the Yanks, not so? ;)

I with my sweet tooth always envied our cousins with their humungous towers of fresh pancakes and syrup for brekkie - if I had had those going to school instead of porridge I may have turned out to be a genies a*s.

Hey buddy....don't just think with your stomach!! What about the view of a breakfast in Venice, water streets beckoning, or a spring cheese platter in the beautiful Swiss Alps.....and my personal favourite, a Spanish three cheese omelette in the vineyards...(though I have only made it in my own kitchen so far....:P)

[ANTO]

Lmao - but its tea time - I always think with my stomach at tea time. Mmm begian waffles smothered in syrup ...oops ..lol

[Einstein Noodle]
