Love à la Mode

In the appetite of my eyes

A hunger stretches every fiber

I am sewed up into tight knots

From the craving that our separations rouses

My taste buds bloom for your slivers of peaches

Before you return in the evening hours

Your kisses are marshmallow creams

Inside a crispy meringue shell

I dissolve like a butter cream macaron

Under the quietness of a coconut-puffed sky

By the smoothness of your assurances

That layers of desires make up the depth of your love

The wanting to satisfy, the openness to be filled

I feel secured, like a mousse in a pecan crust

Your day-dreaming of me are almond fillings in my heart

You spread the feel of lemon cheese over my blueberry skin

I’m oiled in macadamia by your pillow talks

I lay relaxed and puffed, griddled by your warm embrace

My frosted thoughts were a snowy sorbet in your sight

When I saw solace, you saw someone deserving of appreciation

Sweet words swirled like hot caramel sauce over my concerns

Like peanuts accented the cold fudge of my loneliness

Love-speaking me in a breath of birthday cake

You reminded me than I’m special

I felt born again

My ears became sizzling apple slices in your mouth

Hungry eyes stare into my bite-sized Oreos

On a sclera of iced vanilla glaze

With the pleasure at first taste

Searching for my deepest thoughts

I cannot hide my wanting you from you

My senses rise like hot cocoa steam before you

You find my admirations for you

And handle them like mini white chocolates

Smiling and relieved, you inhale my soul

I’m chased down to submission like warm, bedtime milk
