pizza

more cheese, she says,
as I sprinkled more on top.
the yellow pieces of delight form a smile on my face

fresh tomato please, she adds,
those that are organic and without much pesticide
my hand and head nodded simultaneously
as I picked the red fruit that brought me passion for it
which was healthy, not obsession

surround the crust with the ham, corn and chicken, she giggles,
as I delicately arrange in a hoop around the tomato and cheese
what a colorful combination

and put it in the oven, she points too the heat that blazed.
as i opened the oven door, the hot air shocked me.

will the pizza be burnt? i asked,
she replied, we'll see, a good pizza always have to be baked to have a nice flavour;
a successful pizza will always have to be burnt to be crispy. Although it may taste bad, don't forget we once had put all those lovely things in it.

_____________

for your reference,
cheese - happiness
tomato - love
ham, corn and chicken - family and friends
