Yogurt Bery Parfait, Cheesecake, and You

Thomas W Case



I can't count how many times
I've been to D-Tox.
she was always
there by my side.
I turned her on to
the cheesecake and
yogurt berry parfait.
It was a plain yogurt with
fresh blackberries, raspberries,
strawberries and blueberries.
It was amazing- it still is.
We'd stir up the parfait and
pour it on the cheesecake.
It was divine.

I sit here and eat
it alone tonight.
The berries explode when I
put them in my mouth and
chew on them, it's like a
food that the Greek gods
would eat- an ambrosia for
the brokenhearted.
I think of you as the little
blueberries roll around on
my tongue.
It's all so creamy and succulent.

But, I sit here forlorn and eat our
yogurt berry poetry and cheesecake.
And each berry stores a memory in
every luscious bite.
I feel downhearted that you
aren't here with that juicy
purple fluid running down your chin.

    Fresh caught fish?! Yummy. Delectable and sweet with such tantalizing imagery and palpable poignancy haunting this charming rendition whose subtle heartbreak seeps through like silent tears. Thank you so very much for sharing.

    Funny how we link one thought to another. These associations then evoke emotions. Nice Thomas
