Intoxicated - August 1, 2000

It was a rich chocolate cake
soaked in brandy
that gave the scent away.

As I watched the blade descend
cutting a neat slice
against a background of white,
layered against ripe cherries.

I saw the wet tongue
slightly circle your lips
as your eyes lit up
in sheer anticipation.

Intoxicated
by the absolute
voluptuousness of the dessert,
your eyes closed
and your face
gains a look of ecstacy
matched only by
few others.
