Non Fat, Zero Calorie Love

Non Fat, Zero Calorie Love

A Poem by Southern Cross

Inspired by a cobwebbed muse , A post by Chris titled Life and Serah's poem lessssssssss

NON 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.

"Thank you for being around just long enough

I'm so happy to see you free and clear of that moment in your life. Like you said, life is a marathon not a sprint and I know you have so many wonderful roads ahead now. :)

Kicking to the curb and not looking back!

At first, I figured you found some of my old diet. Bland and cardboard I was very familiar with until I started working things out on my own. I just haven't figured out how to do it without the carbs.
Then you changed your diet and sent the world on a tilting spin. Good for you! I can see a satisfied smile about this one.
Great write! Even well "advertised" might not be all they "advertise" themselves to be.
