Poem for Dessert Lovers

The sight of you
makes me quiver.

I just want to savor you
even if it's only a piece,
a sliver.

You keep me craving more,
as an addict who has a need.

You entice my nose
with your aromas so sweet.

I salivate in anticipation
of your taste.

I take you into my mouth
with a warm embrace.

You satisfy the hunger
that rages in me.

I cannot turn away from you,
your appeal has me leashed.

Who knew that dessert could cause
such great internal explosions?

Neurotransmitters firing,
surging the best emotions.

I indulge in your greatness
when I'm happy, bored, or even consumed in sadness.

You are the medicine I need,
really a spoon full of sugar
smoothly pouring into me.

The consumption of desserts
takes me to an internal paradise
where I bathe in a serotonin filled sea.
