Bread - (A Poem)

 Bread 

 

Bread.  I remember bread. 

Gone, but not forgotten 

Wished for, rarely partaken, 

Bread. 

 

Soft. Delicate to the touch 

Smooth, forever pleasant 

Desired, but now forbidden, 

Bread. 

 

Tantalize my memory, Bread 

Linger in my dreams 

Steal my essence, tempt me 

Mine no more. Bread. 

 

Reminiscing now; baked wonders 

Golden brown-topped rolls, so nice  

Visions keep my tastebuds longing 

Bread - - has taken flight 

 

Years we were together, yes 

Pound on pound, not yielding 

Weight has challenged my delights 

Bread has left the building
