Food Date With Emotions

Come, have a seat here
Join my picnic
By the hills of hopelessness
Watch the gentle waves of tragedy
Slowly
Silently
Roll into the sea of peace

Would you like a cup of sadness?
You can add a spoonful of hope
That might carry all that bitterness
Down the drain or elope

Or would you rather a sip of ignorance
This time hope
You should cheat
Pass along the seasoning of confidence
Which is just as sugary sweet

May I offer you a plate of loneliness?
But make sure to drown that in time
Because we all know that time can heal
Even
Oh yes how divine!

If you find loneliness becoming tasteless
Here, try some soft-baked sarcasm
Tossed with aged enthusiasm
With a heavy dose of doubt
If the flavour isn’t enough
Then try a new diversion
Maybe a pinch of hostility
Or a light dressing of suspicion?
Whichever you prefer
you better make your decision

When you really need a change
Try some passive aggressive ego
Then add fate into the mix
Of course!
We know how it tends to dismiss
The pungent smell of jokery 
The fragrant taste of love
Oh how
It reminds you of innocence
Or even the lack thereof

Does one really have to go?
Or stay back and enjoy
This solitary life gets tedious
So we ought to have taste
You need someone to wake you
From beautiful reality called dreams
When these almost seem to convince you
That's when reality strikes again
On insistance.
