That First Bite

A tongue swells with delight,
A mouth waters with await,

The nose perks with the perfume,
The eyes enlighten with the essence of heaven,

That first taste takes you to nirvana, 
That sweat pours off your brow,

A orgy of flavor knocks you down,

The chef a angel from above,
The food a masterpiece of the god's,
The fragrance is of Eden,
The experience feels like true love.
