coffee and gardenia

the gardenia on my left
a coffee on my right
the two mixed
blend, and
the aroma refreshes my mind
just right

smell the gardenia
life-sweetener it is
sip the coffee
life-bitter it seems

sweet and sour
bitter and spice
all tastes of food as life it is
with no tastes like this
can we never sharpen our sense
nor our tastes
