Gluttonous Heart Poem by Grace Petry

Gluttonous Heart



You dined upon fine china
with fractures healed by gold.
The finest of spices and herbs
whispered secrets still untold.
A bite of forever made to be
softly pulled from silver to rose lips
was instead quickly swallowed
as a great storm devours ships.
Rabid hunger engulfed all
of the words meant to be savored.
Selfish needs made haste instead
of taking time to taste the flavor.
