Famine

I am greedy for life.
I want to taste every experience
savour every beat;
I want to drown in the colours of a thousand silks,
burn my tongue on every spice.

I am a glutton.
I want to ingest, absorb every sensation;
open my eyes my mouth my heart to every gratification.
I want the tasting platte: a morsel of this, a mouthful of that
each bite explodes with flavour, floods every sense.
Each spponful of life's sugar sweetens years of bitter medicine.

My hunger is insatiable, wolfish. 
A hollow never to be filled.
My whole life starved, I am ready to binge
on all the joy life has to offer;
to taste the full palate of its pleasures.

No more mindless consumption, 
I will savour every indulgence
because I would rather die of passion
than eat the same meal over and over again.

Bring me your offerings world. I am ready to devour.
