Spaghetti ritual

I slide into my comfy clothes
take out two large pots
fill one with water
ahhh and a little oil

I have to smile already

Add a little olive oil into
the other pot as well
add the hamburger meat
turn the oven on

Take out all those wonderful
tantalizing array of herbs
and spices, an onion and garlic
tomatoes, tomato paste

My smile is gradually becoming bigger

Pour into a classy big belly wine glass
this flavorful Lambrusco
take a sip and close my eyes
breathing deeply my senses perked

With joy of ease I smile

Turning on the music
ritual tune from Marvin
ahhh Let's get it on
and slowly my hips begin to swing

Smiling feeling you so close

My favorite dish
just because the way I cook it
Spaghetti Bolognese
mesmerized by my own high

I smile for you

As the food simmers
and the garlic bread roasts in the oven
I swing and sip slowly on this vino
feeling you watching me

I smile thinking of you

thinking of only you each time
feeling your touch around my waist
moving slowly whispering
Let's get it on...

Ahhh I am so thinking of you

...cooking Spaghetti
wishing you were here.
