Love à la Mode
Copyright © 2017 F Michael Rodriguez
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
