"Tamis"

Filipino- Sweet. The sweetest of delicacies tempt the strongest of men.

" Strawberry jam and glass

Like diamonds glazed with blood

Giggles against lips

Icing sugar on the tongue

Liquid eyes like burnt caramel

Custard skin, beaten

From whisked rotten eggs and blackened butter

Sweet, sickening temptation

Death by decadence

With your white-chocolate spirit

And cherry-syrup mouth

I'd like to pluck your eyes out

Like bonbons from a velvet box

And sip the liquor off your lips

With my teeth

Taste the freckles on your cheeks

Like cinnamon on cream "
