Non Fat, Zero Calorie LoveA Poem by Southern CrossInspired by a cobwebbed muse , A post by Chris titled Life and Serah's poem lessssssssssNON FAT ZERO CALORIE LOVE You were zero trans fat , no guilt Low calorie , cholesterol free and less fat. Just like the cardboard tasting popcorn that proclaimed to be delicious. The chocolate that tasted like tree bark And the tofu burger rolling on my tongue like a day old sponge. All the hype of a well advertsed product Falling short of it's claim. In your absence, I ate a pint of Haagen Dazs Smacked my lips with Godiva chocolate. The sirloin tasted so much better Then turkey meat doused with fake gravy. Thank you for being around just long enough To show me the difference Between false proclimations and the real deal. I may have settled, if only for a moment. To settle always means you're content with taking less than you aspire for. Therefore, it must only be a temporary pause .. Like sitting when you have to catch your breath Before you embark on the next stride. Running the marathon of life Is so much better without carrying your dead weight.
