"Destined Minds"

ASIAN LIME

thorny stems that keeps you at bay
hour glass shaped waxen leaves
of the evergreen lime

clusters of yellowish fragrant
tiny flowers with their
leathery aromatic rinds

medicinal and fragrant the
zest of your fruit you have
travelled the world on many

a plate and pallette that teases
and ties many a dish and salad
together with ease
