Hell and Steel

One day, I woke up from a dream with an urge to write a poem. I grabbed a pen and paper and what you are about to read came out of my hand onto that paper almost instantly. I haven't written a poem or even thought about poetry in a very long time, but I like this. Maybe you will too. 

 

                                                                                               

Hell and Steel

 

Yearn and ache

Catapult into the mission

Garner the fittings

Beget the factors

Assemble the perfection

Unleash the bluster

Twisting and churning inside

Aligning my lovers in rows

I halt for many moments

Waiting with intrigue

Until the moment has flourished

Amidst the hell and steel

Triumph appears from pieces

Ecstasy chills here for eternity

Burning desire erupts

Until that perfect moment

Pure bliss at my tongue

Cookie.

                                                                                                 

  

I have recently been obsessed (to down-play it) with the below pictured Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie. I am not even going to pretend that they aren't bad for you, because they are. I usually take a recipe like this and insert applesauce for butter and cut the sugar and chocolate in half, to lessen the guilt, obviously. But not this time. These are full fat - full amazing. So amazing that they brought back poetry from the depths of my soul.

If you are anything like me, and sweet things are your weakness, you can probably relate to the sheer bliss of a warm cookie just out of the oven, right?

Here is the recipe. 

Make them. Eat them. Thank me later.
