Simple comforts

He presents her with a steaming cup of tea

and hot soft crumbly biscuits with

tart raspberries and fluffy cream

on a rainy Sunday morning

like a hug, his love

For dinner they eat macaroni and cheese

straight from the stove

gooey cheddar in al dente pasta

with a spinkle of garlic and

gouda and extra salty butter

like a hug, this love of food

And afterwards they fly to Boston together

where he buys her a crisp beer

at a cozy bistro

and they order burgers

that are juicy slabs

of warm buttery meat

topped with melted cheese

and pickles to make your

mouth pop

And they get tipsy

and crawl into their hotel bed

and simply admire each other

and their appetites until daylight

eating leftover dessert from the bistro in bed

moist chocolate cake with whipped vanilla frosting

to make your heart sing
