Sweet Ache

Luscious mounds of succulent dreams,
icy zest melting intoxicatingly in the mouth
taking one to a heaven
on a frozen, sugary magic carpet.

So many flavor to tempt
cones to hold the craving,
devoured tell the teeth ache,
smiling in the ecstasy
from the blend of pain and joy.

One scoop or two
that is the question
how many flashes of burning
can a person inhale with that tasty texture.

Decisions, decisions
at least thirty one different choices,
perhaps two at one,
double the pleasure,
double the ache.

Leaving with mouth frozen
face sticky, but lips in heaven.

Days later the love affair
will give birth to inches at the waist,
hopefully the romance and joy
are worth that agony.
