Duality

From a prompt Love tastes like …..

Duality

My Love feels like
I am wrapped
in a warm fluffy blanket
Safe sheltered succoured

My love can feel like
an icy draft stinging my eyes
Adding goosebumps to my skin
If the blanket slips

My love tastes like
Smooth and mellow chocolate
Sweet and melting on the tongue
sometimes lemon, almond and salty

My love can taste like
Pepper, mustard and vinegar mixed
harsh on the tongue bad for the stomach
Sometimes it tastes of chilli and spice – heated

My love sounds like
A celestial choir
Dr Hook at full volume
A playlist of romantic duets

My love can sound like
a child learning the recorder
An errant burglar alarm
The dawn chorus

My love is balanced between pleasure and pain
