a hungry love poem

your hair reminds me of pasta
because it looks like angel hair spaghetti
but thinner
though i am not sure if that is what it tastes like
and i do not want to know
hair seems a rather strange thing to eat

your eyes
along with your hair
have the same colour as chocolate
the good kind
however
your eyes are shaped like almonds
to which i am slightly allergic
at least i do not break out in a rash
every time i look into your eyes
because then i might have to make you were sunglasses all the time
and people would look at you strange
and i would have to tell them that every time i look into your eyes
my eyes get all red and puffy
and i break out in a slight rash
i do not think they would believe me
but then again
i do not really blame them
i would think the same

your hands are soft
like a soufflé
though they are not as delicate
at least not that i know of
because they do not collapse when i touch them
or intertwine our fingers
and when we hold hands for too long
they become like maple syrup
because our hands get all sticky

your fingers look like sausages
the small kind
the really delicious ones
that you make at camp
around the fire
or maybe at home
but i am not trying to say that they are fat
just that they are small
and cute

your nose is silly
but it makes you look cute
at least you do not have a carrot nose
like a snowman
for if that were the case
a rabbit might come along and eat it
and a human would look silly with a vegetable sticking out of their face
a strange excuse for a nose

your lips are girlishly pink
but that is okay
they are also soft
but not like your hands
because your lips remind me of peaches
though they are not fuzzy
since they are so sweet
tasting of peaches anyway
or sometimes mint
if you were chewing gum
either way
i always want more
and when you smile
it usually looks like a watermelon smile
although sometimes
it looks like an upside-down soggy french fry

your legs are like bananas
though i cannot fathom why
it might be a strange comparison
but it seems fitting
though they are not yellow
nor are they curved
or squishy on the inside
at least
not to my knowledge
for i have never peeled your legs open
to see what it was like inside
i do not plan on it
either
please do not ask for further explanation
because to be honest
there is none

when we hold hands
it is like our hands are peanut butter and jelly
though i am allergic to both
so perhaps a different comparison would be better
when we hold hands
it is like our hands are fondue
you can be the cheese
and i will be the chocolate
though we can change if we want
either way
when we hold hands
they melt together
and become one
though cheese and chocolate seems a strange combination to eat
then again
no one is eating our hands
nor is it anyone's business what our hands taste like combined

your love is like a cupcake
it is very sweet
and when others see it
they want it
and sometimes will get all competitive over it
it is so delicious
so tempting
though too much can be a bad thing
if you eat too many cupcakes
you will grow fat
and maybe get made fun of
and die
and if i have too much of your love
never mind
i cannot think of anything bad that would come
by having too much of you
