Tastes of Life

Life is made of colors –
You’ve lived red, blue, green, and gold!
But life is also made of tastes –
It’s a secret that’s rarely told …

The sad teardrop is salty –
You can feel its brackish touch as it runs down your face
I’m sure tasted it too –
Praying for it to stop its course …

The glowering anger is bitter –
You can sense the pungent fingers stroking your innards
I’m sure you’ve nibbled it too –
Its harsh unpleasantness gripping you …

The jealous frown is sour –
You can detect the acidity devouring your mental peace
I’m sure you’ve tested it too –
Its hotness absorbing you …

The bright smile is sweet –
You can savor the caress of happiness that brighten you up
I’m sure you’ve gobbled it –
Forever greedy for more!!!

Yes, life is made of colors –
Brightly shaded and with a myriad hues!
Now you know life’s tastes too –
Try and live life anew!
