Food/Love Pairing

you are my cherry:

a sweet delicacy

among the glimmering sun,

a refreshing enchantment

among the buds of my tongue.

you send tingling

explosions through my soul

adding red-wine colour

and ripe honeyed citrus

to my sour lemon life.

my love,

i am bitter and cruel,

hardened by time

and roughened by heartbreak.

but your tangy taste has added

dimension

to who i am.

you have softened my harshness

and smoothed my tartness.

oh my little cherry,

we create flavours so

potent

and a love so

strong.

so,

let us stay as a perfect pair

living in infinite ecstasy

for i

am so much better with you.

(i don’t know if i could live without you).
