Dinner plans

Just a taste won't hurt........

 

Longing desire sits on my hearts throne,

a savory aroma invites me to that hallowed ground called "Kitchen"

 

yet I cannot just brazenly taste of the evening's delights

eating as a beast with no thought of decorum

or a thief who lacks discretion

 

no

 

I must connive

ponder and plan

 

I rendezvous with a one brazed chicken

 

"Dear, I think I'll get a drink"

a line delivered masterfully,

 

"Would you like anything?"

yes, that’s believable,

 

this ruse, a seed of deceit planted in my love’s ears. 

 

I slink and slither away for a taste forbidden

my stomach answering what was bidden 

 

There is the prize

so piping hot

just a cut

a sliver of a slice

what could a taste do,

surely

she'll appreciate my overview

 

silently a drawer opens

a knife removed,

 

lid lifted with all the dexterity

of a cat-burglar,

 

"What did you think you were going to do?"

I hear

 

"Couldn't wait 30 minutes, could you?"

accusations and slander strewn

 

"You'll wait with the guests, now back to the living room"    

At least a got a taste of defeat……..
