Love Poem: Cheese Pie

Cheese Pie

Cheese Pie*

No-one knows the secret 
It's the recipe of kings
A little piece of heaven
With the sense of joy it brings

There's the thinly veiled outer
Shielding substance deep and rich 
Like the satisfying scratching
Of an ancient yearning itch

Too many have attempted
And it's easy to be burned
The balance is so delicate 
Reputation must be earned

Applauded for such talent
Consumed as validation
It's the beauty of the long sigh
At the start of a vacation

It's not a solo venture
This beach holiday without end
For this pie is only tasty
If you're sharing with a friend
