99 cents
Is all it costs
To make you
A vegetarian meal
With love,
and Cajun-spiced passion.
No need to light that fire within,
I thought - for you are my
big-hearted babe
worth much more
than a 99cent food trip.

For you trip me up,
you work me up,
you weave together
my disparate thoughts...
in the still of the night,
to spark that trust in me
to dream the impossible,
plausible dream.
