cheat on the sweet

           sometimes lovers meet
        kiss and share a bite to eat
           one desires sweetmeat
         not dessert  an extra treat
           to savour another’s teat

David, quite a twist indeed. There's definitely a lot of different desires in our minds and you explore that in a very clever way. Take care and smiles!!

Clever rhymes in your tanka dear david! You have a way with words! Sometimes yea lovers share so much that the world might not be able to comprehend lol! I prefer dessert specifically chocolate, as a chocoholic! Pleasure visiting you today: sending you light always

Heya Ink, we all have our weaknesses, life is full of temptation! And I have a penchant for +70% dark chocolate, I think the character in my tanka had something more sinful in mind lol! Thanks so much for stopping by, cheers David
