Poison

You are a virus of the soul
Infecting lethally, but slow.
Those tasty lips are venomous
Those hands kill all they touch.

Your eyes prick those they see,
And fill them up with toxin
Your sexy voice dulls senses
and puts to sleep like poison


You are a god, no question.
Yet hurt all those that worship,
Having no mercy on their souls
You throw away, as if some stones.

Desired

I want to be the fantasy
of mine, his, hers & yours
I want to be the starlet queen
of every boys wet dream.
I want to be the fancy
of all those handsome men.
I want to be desired,
but never be; attained.

Chicken Carbonara-ish Dish

I don't often share recipes on here unless I am absolutely taken with them beyond words. So here is my latest creation which has been gracing our plates for the last month many many many times. Yes, it is that delicious!

4 organic boneless chicken thighs cubed (or 1 large breast)
2 organic strips uncured smoked bacon diced(optional)
1 large Portobello mushroom cubed
2 organic eggs yolks
3/4 cup organic extra rich heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup grated aged Gruyère Cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
1 medium sized onion chopped
3 to 4 large cloves of garlic chopped
some vegetable oil
a bit of diced fresh cilantro or parsley to garnish
8-10 ounces dry linguine (or pasta of choice)

Bring a large pot of salted water to boil, add your pasta and cook until al dente.

In a cast iron large skillet add your cubed chicken to the hot oiled skilled. Let cook until just ready (about 7-10 min) Make sure to add some salt and pepper to taste.

In large mixing bowl whisk together the egg yolks a minute then add the heavy whipping cream, whisk until well incorporated, then mix the grated cheeses into the bowl. Set aside.

After the chicken is just about ready add to the skillet the onion, garlic and bacon. Cook for another 2 minutes and add the mushrooms. Salt and pepper to taste. I also add a bit of dry basil here. You may want to sprinkle just a bit of Olive oil at this stage to make sure your mushrooms cook up nicely. Just a drizzle will do as there will be fat released from the bacon. (if not using bacon, add more olive oil) cook for another 5 minutes tops until bacon and mushrooms are nearly done and the onions are just nicely golden. Turn off heat.
Your pasta should be cooked by now. Timing is very important here as everything needs to be hot before adding to the egg mixture as the residual heat will cook the yolks. Add the pasta and the chicken mixture to your large mixing bowl and mix everything together, then serve.
The parsley or cilantro can be added now or to the plates after. A sprinkle of cheese to the finished dish is also quite tasty although not requited.

Courage

Courage is a standard coin
It has two sides, as issued.
Courageous men,
Are heroes termed
Courage in women,
is much too forward a trait.

Twisted

I can not say I loathe you
Dear god I wish I could!
You make me feel so twisted
For all the things I've done.
That day, when I first saw you
I knew you'd be the one
To turn me into pieces
Against my own design.
I hope you're happy with yourself
Although I think you lied.
I doubt, you'll stay with her
You are too weak to do so.
I saw it in your eyes,
With no misunderstanding
You'll break one day, no question.

***dug this one out on an old tiny memo note with a call back number for some client I must have taken a message for my boss on the opposite side of it at the time. Yes...I did write on just about anything! I have a ton of these little loose papers and leaflets and napkins stuck in all my little poem books and journals...I like to surprise myself sometimes with a forgotten poem I suppose. Anyway this tiny piece of paper was looking kind of worn and tired so I decided to transfer it here before the words became too obscure for even the author herself to recognize. (Circa 2003- 2004) ***

Foolish

How foolish can one be?
To burn ones hand,
And still be boiling water.
To burn it yet again?

To be a fool as such,
It takes much skill & talent!
To be so blind, to all predictable reality,
Takes courage & stupidity!

How silly can one be?
To let his heart be torn,
For surely he must see
When eyes hold so much scorn.

I haven't got the strength

I haven't got the strength
To keep on fighting you,
I'm no longer your child
Do not, treat me as such.

I haven't got the will
To prove that you are wrong
I haven't got the time,
To argue all day long.
