Spicy




she is unforgettable:   gourmet cook, 
skin soft as white magnolia petals,
lips warm and heady like his scotch whisky 


when she showed up one rainy morning, 
he feasted on hot Spanish chocolate cups,
honey tangled churros, and spicy chorizo  


fire on his tongue, he doesn't want to dull with cream

    I like chocolate Spanish cups, which are probably a food dish but also her breasts I assume.

    Do you mean "churros"? Yum! But chorizo would taste pretty nasty after the sweets. Maybe I'm reading too much double entendre into this ... but does "cream" mean what I think it means? At first, I thought it was going back to her white skin, as in now that he's stuffed with food and his tongue is on fire, maybe he doesn't actually want her. Or "cream" could relate to dulling his tongue in other ways. Then again, maybe I'm saying way too much. But I couldn't help it with this thought-provoking poem! Beautiful work, Grace.

    Thanks for the comments. Shawna, churros it is and they are delicious.

    Once your tongue has tasted the "flavourful" food, you are never going back to eating plain stuff. Thanks for the visit ~

    Visiting from Poetry Jam this time: Oh, I would 'die' for good churros! This makes my mouth water. And I agree about flavorful stuff. Sometimes when I am in a Mexican or Thai restaurant, I ask about some dish...and the waiter says, "Oh, but it is spicy" as if to apologize. And I say..GOOD, that is what I will order.

    Goes with the prompt beautifully.
    Hope you won't be offended if I point out that Scotch is "Whisky." "Whiskey" is Irish and American.

    I haven't had a churro in years! They're so good dunked in chocolate (Mexican hot chocolate). Your poem rocks, as always.
