    Maple Cake (my love, my obsession, my delight),

    You tempt me, beckoning with sugared silk,
    allure a golden promise whispered on the tongue.

    I cannot resist.

    Eyes drift closed,
    chin rising as I inhale the intoxicating scent of you—
    slowly, deliberately.
    Exhale,
    desire declared with silent hunger.

    Teeth graze my bottom lip,
    anticipation building
    until your pliable stiffness yields,
    enters my mouth in a welcoming embrace,
    igniting on contact.
    And then the explosion—symphony of maple
    melting as I swirl my tongue,
    exploring every nuanced velvet crumb,
    every crystalline grain of bliss
    in a slow cadence of flavor—sweet oblivion.
    Each nibble, an encore—
    from first taste to lingering ecstasy,
    you fill me.

    • Necia, I experience a similar reaction when chocolate cake is placed before me. I can’t resist it, even if I know my waist would like me to! You describe the moment you take the first bite with vivid imagery that evokes the pleasure you feel at enjoying this indulgence. Thank you for sharing this lovely (and delicious) poem!
