Arctic Ecstasy

One sizzling summer afternoon
As the spent sun splashed 
The remnant of the heat wave
My throat turned to a desert dune.

I saw the freezer morph into an oasis
Offered me a cup of enticing ice cream 
And a dish of chilled strawberries
I set as pink crown on the delicacy.

The regal ensemble I put in the mouth
The tongue swirled it on the palate
Melting glacier went down the throat
Suffused me with arctic ecstasy.
