Split for Two

My tongue digs through

The ice cream

Vanilla sweetness

Cold and smooth

As it slides along

My palatte

And down the back

Of my throat

The tang of

Pineapple and strawberry

The lushness of

Chocolate

An orgy of

Rich delights

That make my taste buds

Rise with

Barely suppressed

Excitement

My teeth find

One end of the

Tender, creamy log

Buried in halves

Under the mountain

Of sweetened layers

I take a bite

And then another

Working my way

Along the length

Until my lips find yours

Somewhere in the middle

Our tongues lock

In the midst of

Licking the

Whipped cream

From each other's faces

Our mouths pressed together

So tightly

And in such delight

We almost forget

That there's a cherry

On top

To be devoured

Between us

As well
