Marzipan Chicken



Gateaus made with almond paste as follow-up to roast chicken

The wonder of food's delight in which scope tongues are licking

Small red potatoes, onions, mushrooms, gravy and Italian Bread

The mind is spinning with all the delicate flavors in one's head



Then to find the gourmet feast doesn't end with wings and legs

But a tasty treat served afterwards with strawberries and jam begs

The palate to savor even greater delicacy which floods taste buds

As one revels in the aftermath of passion shared in jewel-like studs



Delicate tastes of something even tastier than kitchen expertise

... The art of sharing bodies with awe, wonder, and without cease

Abandoning all inhibitions in ultimate mental/physical collaboration

The beauty of love shared without any kind of withholding or aberration



This kind of sharing is magnificent on so many wide and deep levels

One gets lost in its beauty as we involve ourselves so totally settled

The gourmet meal which subsequently follows is a blessing to be sure

But the appetizer takes the entire cake - whether it's marzipan or the lure
