Ode To a Cake

Oh cake you are my biggest
My Most wanton
My most utterly and delightful mistake

You invite my mouth to savour you
After I drool all over you
And I gladly indulge

I live only for a taste of you
You excite my taste buds so well
And fill my heart with joy
It is such a pity
That each bite so perfectly
Plots my ruin

Adding weight to my hips
After passing through my awaiting lips
You make me so plumptous

Oh cake I will always love you
No matter what ills you bring
I will forever sing
Of your taste
And eat another morsel of you

I will never forget
The many flavours you have
That so tingle my tongue

My cravings for you
Are torture
If I cannot possess you
I will seek you out
Where-ever you may be
And have you
Every morsel
Every crumb of you

Yes, I feel this way about popcorn!!! I did a poem like this one called While Languishing. About someone tempted by cake. It's so fun to write of food and you did well with it.
