Poetically Prompted

Taste

Bittersweet emotion
Rage that tastes of gall
Salty salty tears
Memories of summer peaches
Fear of loss sour as lemons
Loss tastes of ashes
Death tastes of rot
Emptiness tastes of dry cool air
Hope tastes of dew
Love tastes not like chocolate but sweeter
The past is a buffet of random tastes
The present tastes of fresh cut grass
The future is a taste unknown
