A Love Affair with Melted Butter
Liquid gold slithering across the puffs of kernels
liding effortless like an eel through waters
I feel the heat as I breathe your aroma.
Im bland without you.
I pour out your golden goodness, your smooth satisfaction, your
sleek seductiveness across my pancakes ,and
morning toast.
en I wait for the coffee to roast.
I even pour you out like a fountain of gold, and let you dance like a
ballerina,
flowing, twisting, gliding across my mountain of mashed potatoes.
I ll let you have your way, then the gravy.
Sometimes you lay lavishly across the peaks , then pace yourself as
you run down like a marathoner.
You know I want you.
Finally, I indulge myself in your creamy goodness, devouring cakes,
and pies
You're right there inside.
Yes its you my liquid sunlight
your smoothness, your brightness
I need you ,want you
With you in my world
everything tastes just right.

TURNING 70
Should I wake up breathing on August 24th, people who have known me since my youth will say that I beat the odds. No one-- and I do mean no one-- believed I would survive my 20s. My Mother used to say, whenever I called from a payphone in the middle of nowhere, "You're going to end up dead in a ditch!"

Lol, you've made me hungry. Your poem was fantastic! You should enter it into the challenge!
Kind of experimented here. I figured I'd write about a love affair with butter after viewing the Smooth Challenge. Didn't want to enter the challenge, just experiment here. If you read this, let me know what you think. Constructive critique always makes us stretch and grow.😊💜
