Taste Buds

Funny---that love doesn't taste the same way twice.
There's the bland sort---mashed potatoes,
not exciting---but filling in a way.
There's the salsa caliente
that will burn you coming in, and going out
but might be just what you wished
to savor at the moment.
There's sweet love---
like a rich dessert custard
flan in carmel
just lush enough
That a little goes a long way.
But you really can't judge cuisine
until you tasted a few,
and I can't really judge
till I've had the taste of you.
