Pure

Over at DF's birthday BBQ the other day, I got to talking to this dude who enjoys cooking too. Over our conversation, I realised that I'm a purist when it comes to food.

Sure, I like a bit of experimentation, mostly with a few ingredients in classic recipes. But when it comes to out and out mash-ups and fusion, I'm not your gal.

Peking duck pizza... chendol creme brulee... Sounds good in theory, but just not my cup of tea. Some things were created just perfect, so who am I to screw around with that?

There are some things in life that are good just pure, simple and the way they are.

Night time slows, raindrops splash rainbows
Perhaps someone you know, could sparkle and shine
As daydreams slide to colour from shadow
Picture the moonglow, that dazzles my eyes
And I love you

Just lying smiling in the dark
Shooting stars around your heart
Dreams come bouncing in your head
Pure and simple everytime

Now you're crying in your sleep
I wish you'd never learnt to weep
Don't sell the dreams you should be keeping
Pure and simple everytime

Dreams of sights, of sleigh rides in seasons
Where feelings not reasons, can make you decide
As leaves pour down, splash autumn on gardens
As colder nights harden, their moonlit delights
And I love you

Look at me with starry eyes
Push me up to starry skies
There's stardust in my head
Pure and simple everytime

Fresh and deep as oceans new
Shiver at the sight of you
I'll sing a softer tune
Pure and simple over you
