Never say never.

No no no honestly!
No I do not want to eat you,
Enticing delicacy!
No no no, no matter
How you are begging me
I would not succumb
To your sweet charm
To your delightful cream
To your smooth brioche
Perhaps, to your chocolate mousse inside.
No no no! Or else...
Because above all,
I do not want to hurt you,
A little... bite?

Hi Julian Your imprint is clearly on this delicate rendering. It gives the image texture and a charming sensuality. In my imagination I can smell the sweet filling. As I bite into the pastry I feel in my mouth the cream and taste the butter and sugar. I hope that you shared this delightful treat with Ruth or bought two.

Synesthesia at it's best! Thank you.
(To Alain... perhaps a gentle nibble?)
