To Nourish

how satisfying
to be a meal
to nourish
feed 
to be a buffet
for one who is hungry
starving for days
thirsty
trembling
to be devoured
breathed in
dripping from his chin
being tasted
savored
melting through his fingers
warming his mouth
satisfying his urge
he is full
miserably full
too much of me
