Yogurt Berry Parfait, Cheesecake, and You

Yogurt Berry Parfait, Cheesecake, and You

A Poem by Thomas W Case

here's a link to my you tube channel where I read my poetry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hP285EP-bo

"
I can't count how many times
I've been to D-Tox.
she was always
there by my side.
I turned her on to
the cheesecake and
yogurt berry parfait.
It was a plain yogurt with
fresh blackberries, raspberries,
strawberries and blueberries.
It was amazing- it still is.
We'd stir up the parfait and
pour it on the cheesecake.
It was divine.

I sit here and eat
it alone tonight.
The berries explode when I
put them in my mouth and
chew on them, it's like a
food that the Greek gods
would eat- an ambrosia for
the brokenhearted.
I think of you as the little
blueberries roll around on
my tongue.
It's all so creamy and succulent.

But, I sit here forlorn and eat our
yogurt berry poetry and cheesecake.
And each berry stores a memory in
every luscious bite.
I feel downhearted that you
aren't here with that juicy
purple fluid running down your chin.

You've turned sadness into a metaphorically delicious wonder, Thomas. Perhaps it's just wanted how 'She' would want to be remembered? Many thanks for sharing such a heartfelt and clever poem.

Thank you, Pete. I appreciate it.
Ok, now you've got me salivating here. Yogurt berry parfait cheesecake! A succulent ambrosia, indeed, Thomas. Unfortunately for me, an apple in hand will have to suffice. Nuts!!

Lol. Thank you, Kelly. I appreciate it.
It sounds like she had become part of the d-tox process. When a steady support is suddenly not there, ordeals are much worse.
