Ode To the Mango
O mango
 You are
  Always screaming
    
 `
 
 
 
   In my brain
 Haunting me 
 Every single second
 Minute
 Let alone a day
 With your
 Beauty and grace
 Your juice,
 As sweet
 As candy dipped in
 Caramel and coated with
 Extra sugar,
 Is immensely enchanting
  It forces me to crave more
 Of this
 Sweet ambrosia
 
 O Mango
 You are
 The Emperor
 Of fruits 
 And the cytoplasm of 
 Pleasure 
 You are worshipped 
 By the universe
 And its inhabitants
 You are so powerful
 That even gods 
 Fall victim
  To your heavenly, and ripe 
 Aroma
 Saccharine
 And intoxicating
 
 O mango
 Food has no meaning
 In your absence 
 You are
  An incarnation of taste
 And a miracle
 Ever to befall
 This earth
 Your outside
 Smooth 
 And eye – pleasing
 It is only 
 The beginning 
 Of the trap which
 I will be
  Lured into
 Like how a lion is lead 
 Into a net with bait
 To be captured
 
 My mouth 
 Is a miniscule 
 Water fountain 
 Overflowing 
 Hunger
 Commanding and
 Forceful
 Groans deep
 Within my stomach
 My mind 
 Whispers to me: 
 
 “Time to inhale it now!
 Pounce, snatch,
  Grab, or devour
 Do whatever it takes 
 To finish it off
 Fall in the trap 
 Which is waiting
 For you expectantly
 Fall in the trap 
 This will only bring you
 Satisfaction and elation
 Fall in the trap!
 Fall in the trap!”
 
 This mantra
 Chants in 
 My mind
 Finally I oblige 
 It and
  slowly, carefully
 I peel off the skin
 In the same care
 As you would handle 
 An antique vase
 Beneath the skin
 Of this wonder
 Is a sun
 Its brilliance
 Emanating from
 Its core 
 Like how 
 Complex and descriptive
 Words spills meaning and beauty
 Onto the sheet of paper
 I greedily tear open 
 A portion  
 Of you and devour it
 Not leaving a 
 Single strand left
 Ahh! Delightful!
 
 The sensational juice
 Marvelous and sweet – esque
 Floods my taste buds
 Ceasing this
 Constant flow of this
 Water fountain 
 I am captured by you
 You have won my heart
 And without you
 I would simply die
 Every man, woman, and child 
 In this universe
 Should have you in 
 Their grasp
 Sinking their teeth
 Into your mattress – esque skin
 In this manner
 We can save mankind
 From being deprived 
 Of great taste
 Every person 
 Deserves the sensation
 That is caused by you
 You have uplifted taste
 One stage higher 
 After I finish 
 The edible heaven
 I spiral into bliss
 And everlasting jubilance 
 Mmmm!
 Excellent!
 
 Ecstatic, jovial, crazed
 I unload another crate
 And begin the cycle
 All over again
 Inviting the bliss
 (And stomach aches)
 I will receive 
 After feasting
 On 
 YOU!
