Your once favorite sabor by Adrian Ernesto Cepeda

Quiero saborearte como cilantro
I know you love me skinny
always craving my salty
aftertaste, swallowed me
leaving my last Colombiano
leaf dangling sagging softly
below see your ojos, still
hungering for his basil,
licking lips in mood for
his Italiano, craving to
slurp his spaghetti,
splashing olive oil all
over, forgetting about
the way your mouth
danced while devouring
chimichanga, so much
sour cream everywhere,
still feel you yearning for more
than post mates, something
rich with parsley, wanting
to swim in Mediterranean
fishing for sultry salmon,
love to lie on a bed a rice
covered in Chimichurri,
the kind of pesto all over
your lips make you forget
my cilantro kiss, you used
to love to mastÃcame en sus
dreams and you wake up
and escúpeme, I can feel
your belly desiring another
sabor, I am no longer
the delicious appetite, pushing
me away unsatisfying, I was
once your luscious plate, your
tongue tired of my caliente
flavor, too picante, you
lost the taste for su spicy
marchito flor
