Spicy and Sweet

It is a flame that cannot be extinguished for a very long time

It can come from a pepper, or many different spices

Nevertheless, you send off a signal to the brain

My taste buds are numb, and my mouth is in pain

You have a taste, but you also have the potentially to numb the rest of my mouth

After I eat too much of it, I feel like I want to scream and shout

Spicy foods, you know you are just like a hot flame

Blazing without any ammunition to get you started

After that one taste of you, I do not know what to do

My mouth just hurts so badly

Many people love you, many people avoid you, and many people hate you

Many want you, but they cannot take the pain

Leaving me gasping for air and a tummy ache

It is just too bad you taste so great!

You are everyone’s guilty pleasure

You take many forms and shapes

Whether you are a pastry, a fruit or even a cold frozen treat

You taste so good to me

Sweet food, you have a way of making me want more and more

I do not love you, but I adore you

But just like the spicy, you sometimes leave me with regret

When I sit and rub my stomach, I fret

Why did I overindulge?

You taste sol good, like heaven and a dream

Kids, adults, and teens we all love you, but you don’t love us back

You can cause diabetes and are no good

But you taste so good

Yet, I feel so guilty
