and blend the two halves of our aching hearts
, a beautiful depiction of the two worlds meeting and merging into one, creating an energy field which binds them together.

| Posted by Rula Shin on 01/08/06 at 01:01 PM Indeed this is a beautiful account of the melding of two souls into that perfection of wholeness as its combination of delectible parts meet and synergize. A wonderful taste of the joy and beauty that overflows from the mouth that gives and receives...from the soul that knows the deep understanding which underlies the 'true' glimpse of LOVE. |

| Posted by Mara Meade on 01/14/06 at 06:24 PM Organic and raw with love and passion to soften the strength of each spice... Oh, this is an incredible feast! |
| Posted by Kyle Anne Kish on 02/03/06 at 01:21 PM Spice ... yes, lots and lots of spice in this poem. (fanning self)
Rafika, I not only love your name, but I love this poem. Everything in it leaks through in such a beautiful, thundering way. Oh, I DO like that. Bravo! |
| Posted by Kathleen Wilson on 10/18/07 at 03:57 AM A wonderful poem, now in my favorites! The details and lovely recipes entice deliciously. I love the mix of intellect and physical passion. Perfect blend and the end... even more delightful. If ever there would be a just dessert! A most appetizing POTD! |
| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 10/18/07 at 11:57 AM Scrumptious POTD! I had to don my bib to read. I love it all, but particularly the "elaborate simmer"! Well done. |
| Posted by JD Clay on 10/18/07 at 08:11 PM I love the way you've showered this poem with innuendo, Rafika. Innocent and erotic, all in a butterfly kiss. I also love the trope and thought you've employed, not one syllable out of place or out of touch.
Congratulations! On becoming The Gourmet Poet Of The Day!

| Posted by Trisha De Gracia on 10/18/07 at 10:14 PM So I'll be blunt. I'm not always impressed with the poems that get POTD, or the ones that get the top 10, but my dear, you rocked it, and I think this is absolutely gorgeous. |
