Tim Smith Poet Free verse

A Delicate Treat

Her meringues make me water 
pristinely pure with elegance 
so sugary sweet 
offered up a special treat 

eyes fall out of focus 
as delicate swirls entice 
cobalt blue biding 
interpretations 

tantalized, lips licked 
a simple teasing 
and pleasing 
of the tongue 

nibbled, flavours seduce 
every taste savoured 
lapped, loved, and treasured 

making each morsel last 
never letting another 
precious moments pass
