Orange Spiced Cake

Orange Spiced Cake

A Chapter by Nusquam Esse
"

If you haven't had it, you are really missing out.

"


A perfect blend of sweet, sour, zest, and spice

  I don’t like cake; well, except for this slice

It’s all about balance, perfectly aligned

  Just the right blend that I could never find


“Why would I ever want someone like you?

           A lass so simple, you haven’t a clue.”


But to me, everything is simply just right;

     How could I ever not want one more bite?

From your sharp wit and sass, to your freckles

  So admit it already

     You are special

 


     At least to the me,

Who needs more than a mere


        Pan Tres Leches.

I. Love. Cake.
Citrus cake? Magic.

This poem caught my attention from the start -- I love the way you describe her... excitedly, hungrily yet thoughtfully too. This orange spiced cake girl is lucky to have your heart.

Sounds like you want to have your cake and eat it; mind you, nothing wrong with that. -:)

Beccy.

Love this! Sweet and spicy in all the right places, just as this girl seems to be. This is the first work I have read by you, but I will certainly be coming back for more. Loved the recitation by the way.

Well thank you much, *bow
hehe, well this was fun! I like the juxtaposition and vagueness between a cake and a girl. "The devil is in the details"

How extraordinary and imaginative! I love this from beginning to end. Isn't an interesting woman always that perfect blend? And we have to keep them guessing about which flavor we're featuring at any given time, eh?
