Hot fudge melts ice cream

Creamy white liquid forms

Like molten lava from a volcano

It travels finding a place to settle

Until the next spoon comes along

Late night chats from a distance

Today all changes

He sits waiting restlessly

Her natural beauty beaming

As she enters guardedly through the door

Reluctantly approaching the table

Toasted salted nuts sprinkled haphazardly

The shiny smooth surface disappears

Giving way to new dimension

Hills and valleys form

Engulfed by clouds of whipped cream

Her smile captivating

Eyes much the same

Her words fascinating

Expressions giving whole new meaning

To the once distant words

Metal spoon digs deep into the dish

Searching every crack and crevice

Refusing to put the spoon down

Need one last taste

One last morsel of heaven

Hours pass and sunrise approaches

Exhaustion overtakes desire

She bids farewell with hesitation

He reaches out and pulls her to him

One last taste

One last morsel of heaven
