The Tastes of Marriage

At first it was

Tremors tingly 

Hope bubbly
Natter nutty
Conversations crunchy

Lovemaking  spicy

Juices flowing nicely

Binding us
Like sticky toffee
A coated covering
Creamy custard.

Then came 
Chewy conflicts

Dour doubts

Caustic questions

Sour comments

Tangy Tiffs

Bitter truths

Acrid moments

Salty tears

Pungent fears

Burnt Crust
Greasy Grime
Stale leftovers
Putrid punch

And now
A tasteless silence.
