A Meal For A Lifetime

 I can still taste you

your sweetness on my tongue

your zest on my skin

like a middle eastern spice 

never heard of

added to a familiar dish

turning it into something

warmer

deeper

a red desert that

quenches thirst

even as it creates the desire for it

my hunger

just fed

begins to rise again

a perpetual state

of starvation

and satiation

Les us

feed

and

satisfy

one another
