The Recipe
I cannot make you love me
but I will brew my brew,
sweet as sugar,
as spicy as cinnamon.
I will brew it with intent,
words of power spoken over pots,
stirring in my feelings,
until they run hot and wild.
For my life has joy,
loud and raucous feelings,
that run free, and all I needed
was to add a spoonful of love.

There is a beautiful self-sufficiency in your kitchen, where the magic lies in thickening your own life with joy rather than waiting for someone else to taste what you have stirred ✨
