Iam te provoco.
Mecum eam consume,
Nos ridebimus.

I know that Myristica Fragrans is not a motto but I've noticed that Latin family mottoes lend themselves to a very liberal interpretation and possibly a little foreknowledge in order to translate well. In the case of your haiku you have done something very clever in that not only have you conveyed the meaning but left room for interpretation to be possible. At first I thought the personal pronouns  were unnecessary but then realised that you had probably included them in order to construct a perfect syllable count for a haiku.
'Now I challenge you (tempt you).
Enjoy with me ( eat me even)
We will laugh (have a good time).'
I have read that nutmeg eaten gives hallucinations but you have to almost die to get them.
Am I a long way off course?
