eat your dessert

let us purge the poison

with which we’ve been drunk
all the hate we’ve consumed
carelessly in lieu of tasting love
but then pushing away
like a dessert that stimulates
the desire of our taste buds yet
think it to be too full of calories

tell me of your inner soul

who used to like to eat
that which tasted good
drank from a well of spring water
and shared it with others

speak to me of a wondrous

blue sky hovering over all mankind
embraces all of space without prejudice
and that sun that shines
giving nutrients to all whose
rays like fingers, touches

sing to me that song your

mother whispered in your ear
telling you the words of that say
where theirs love you need not fear,
if you wish to sate your heart and soul
consume that dessert we call love
