The Aroma That Calls You Back

What is your favorite restaurant?

Aroma in my nose

right from the stairs

to the top floor

even if you are passing through

the aroma pulls you back

like a rubber

tied in your heart

wouldn’t let you go

even if you reach far

you get curious

you couldn’t resist

that feeling—warm, inviting

like

half of the hunger

already filled

by the intensity of smell

morning, day or night

food fills your appetite

craving increases

and when you absorb

the love-filled nutrients

the heart becomes light

the belly becomes tight

my home is my restaurant

where my mother’s handmade food

brings me great delight
