Like

Finely chopped Basil atop red tomato bisque 
A soup as fine as a sweet kiss from tender warm lips that risk 

Licorice scent adorns lean beef and carrot stew
Like sweet surrender to a love that recently renewed

Green glowing chopped chives dancing in butter alive
Alluring adorable lover dance 'pon motion thrive

Tasty heavenly honey mixed with Cajun spice
A little sweet with spicey desire sexy sugar nice

Like food love tempts all senses and brings to them life
Romance steps softly to lead the way to taste spice twice
