Sweetness

I've tasted bitter,
Gorged myself on dull,
Had my fill of sour things to eat.
I think I'm full,
But would fancy something sweet.
I'm not hungry just now,
No longer care for dining in or out.
My heart is closed and drawn.
Nothing can tempt this mouth
To open except the genuine,
Thoughtful, offered, delicate, deserted soul
Given in lucious kindness,
And in whole.
