Tiramisu

Tiramisu--meaning pick me up in Italian...... A truly delectable treat.

Arriving to me perfectly centered on the plate

I admire its beauty from all sides as I bite my lip.

I hate to ruin perfection….but I’m intrigued

I lean over this piece of art and breathe in deep.

The seductive smell permeating my senses

I close my eyes just a moment to gather it all in.

Wanting to savor every moment I slowly allow

myself to delve into this delectable treat.

Holding true to its name, I suddenly feel a burst

Of excitement as I allow the flavors to roll

Around on my tongue, soak into my gums and

Then I swallow every tiny drop.  Pure Heaven in

My mouth.
