Bifurcating succulence.

Summers-past ice cream dreams.

Halyard rope bell hop with a catch,
Grandee gourmet glutton wolfs marinated cod...

her toppings make tastebuds scream

tomato tossed swirls

queen of the epicure scene.

So yummy
I could just
eat you up

Not funny
Had enough
Bittersweet

Such dummies
Eat too much
Tastebuds change

Now honey
Wish I had
Ate you up...

Strawberry frozen yogurt
Yummier than ice-cream
Melts upon my tongue
as a sweet, cool dream.
Tastebuds do a little dance
For yoghurt is so fine and
Strawberries, strawberries yum oh yum
Totally divine!...

The     warm, frothy soup
feels good      my tastebuds,
one scoop
            after the other.

It goes well   with a good 
        company
around a        bonfire
gazing at the clear, night      sky......

Hot apple cider
Cinnamon savors
Gingerbread houses
Sugar and spice neighbors

Peppermint cocoa
Sugarplum favors
Gifting my tastebuds
With Christmastime flavors

I always knew ladies have more taste than men...

                It is a scientific fact per National Geographic magazine!!
                  The female tongue has more tastebuds than male tongues.:-)


OOOOOOOO

So bitter but oh so sweet
Enlivened tastebuds and tightened jaws
Better health I long to greet
Biding obedience to natural laws

Naturally cleansing and nurturing
Assimilation and digestion on high
Invaluable health I'm furthering
Toxicity and disease I bid a sweet good-bye...

     Light withdrawn
     Expands again
       approaches dawn
       clucks the hen

    Constellations fade
    Skies o’erspread   
       glory arrayed
       chickens fed

    Rising sun
    Prayers bespake  
      omelets done
      tastebuds awake

on a quiet 
Sunday 
afternoon
rain 
playfully 
danced
amidst the 
flourishing 
trees of 
Georgia.

memories 
tempt 
tastebuds
with a 
sweet juicy 
nectar
ripe with 
luscious 
desire.

sensually 
fragrant
arousing 
all senses
slowly, 
delicately, 
sensually.

peaches 
simply are..

the Fruit 
of the 
Gods..

one of 
life's 
delectable 
pleasures,
for the God 
& Goddess 
in all....

The burst soapsuds dissipate.
Six doves outside my window
Enjoy their meal, congregate.
Wings whirr, head to the gingko

Baby phoebes see surroundings.
With wide mouths expose tastebuds
Hunger each day compounding!
I look, then see burst soapsuds   

So much happening outside my kitchen window view that I forget the dishwater is getting cold and chores going undone.

We persist in running again.
Eyes widened by experience, open like wounds.
Heavy jaws of ruminated
Portions.
Hallucinations of wolves and foxes and mean people,
Ripped members and massacres could
Always and never happen. Our lives
Mean nothing while living in
Tastebuds of animals and those who profit
From our meat and coarse hair.
They fade in our mind, hitherto
We persist in running,
To fleetingly feel alive....

I will see this through
because the idea of you still shocks my spine
with electricity,
tempts my tastebuds with curiosity

In the end 
I'll either adore you fearlessly
and come to your arms with wild abandon,
or have sucked every pretty word
from our imagery,
dulled it to prose

I'll gently unfasten your roots
from my navel
and send you off
not with bite marks or bruises,
but with mercy

I will spare you from a dramatic
exit,
because I care for you...

My fingers traced the lines on her face
as she slept; her beauty overwhelming.

The years had been touch and go, but
we made it somehow, and here we were,
still in love, my little Valentine.

That's what I called her all the time; 
sweet as sugar and oh so fine
gooey and passionate leaving my
tastebuds satisfied completely.

She filled my desires and expectations always
I had no complaints
I leaned over to kiss her lips
One last time
My little Valentine....

Hot and smooth, sweet dark delight
                                                 Starless chocolate night
                                                Set my tastebuds all afire,
                                                   Feed their lone desire:
                                                   Dullness laid to waste,
                                                             Perfected  
                                                                Taste!...

CANDY CANE STICKS

bent little crooks
red and white 
stripes
help us swallow
Christmascrass
hype 

succor sugar comforts
stuffed stocking taboo

peppermint sticks
disabling treats
bow to licking
lips

spry little hooks that
stoop to bingecringe
stick sickly sweet 
decaying teeth 

succor sugar comforts
stuffed stocking taboo

tastebuds tingle 
sleighbells jingle 
cell-o-feigns 
freed
Candy Cane 
Christmascrass
creed
