The Lost Recipe

 I had a meal once

A fantastic one

Didn't prepare it on my own

It's the kind of meal you need to be two to make

The other half had the recipe but disappeared.

Since then I had other meals

But none of them had the same taste

Tried to find the recipe in others

Read many books, watched lots of films

And listened to plenty of music about it

In vain.

I once found a painting remembering it 

I should have bought it in fact

It was the closest image of it.

I often bumped into signs of the recipe

At schools, in the streets, in bars

Am I condemned to tinned sardines now

It doesnt matter somehow

I once ate that fabulous meal

Most people never will
