What makes me human

Savor this sweet emotion, Remember its taste, Cherish the way it Brushes against my heart Like warm butter and silk, The way it settles into the center Of my stomach And fills my hunger For pain, joy, loss and fulfillment. This flavor that is sweet but Holds a hint of sour, and Leaves a bitter aftertaste That makes the next spoonful Of sugar only the sweeter. These flavors I feel, Please let me always retain My ability to taste, The different colors of life.
