LIFE-LUST
My mouth—the mouth of my whole being waters
For all the fruit upon the lap of Life;
The luscious fruit of Life, (delicious fruit,
All running over with the juice of joy.)
Life seems a banquet and my gourmand senses
Would gorge themselves with all good things thereof.
My taste, my touch, my smell, my sight, my hearing
Would drink the seasoned vintages of Life,
And relish all Life’s rarest fruits and viands.
