Dessert The festive ruffle of a maid’s apron Scant, the flour sifted Worked in an artisans touch Sensibilities aroused as midnight lifted Turned softly to scallop, and filled Sweetness, an adjective in many flavors Pure thoughts, provoked to be hot Free lance, the drizzle of desire Layers melt away, this taste at Eden’s fire My serve, tempting just the concave nook Each bud, whispers back the sampling it took A rose, hand dipped until the blossom glistens pink Set out in moonlight, at the fire’s brink The last drop, remaining lower lipped A taste, oh just a taste was sipped Before the powdered sugar showered As this is just dessert!
