You are young, you are fresh, you are ripe
for the picking.
And oh! If you would let him
he would turn your lips to cherry wine
(Red with just a hint of black)
He would
Revel in your peaches and cream
and langour on your pear shaped hips.

Silver sparks zing through the air
If looks could kill
You'd die a thousand happy deaths.
Shattered, melted, gone all to pieces
just so he'd pick you up and make you
whole.

But--
strangers you have been and strangers you shall stay.
Yet--
Who can tell what will happen in the night?

Goodness, this is ancient! Regardless, I do like it quite a bit, especially:

You are young, you are fresh, you are ripe
for the picking.
And oh! If you would let him
he would turn your lips to cherry wine


I do think the lack of interior punctuation is a bit daunting for the reader, and should be remedied, but as I don't recall ever seeing you around here before (and therefore think you might have retired from these forums ^_~), I'll leave it at that.

And oh! If you would let him
he would turn your lips to cherry wine
(Red with just a hint of black) - get rid of this line

Wow - what a cliffhanger! I love it. So heated... Wow. You're a great poet! I hope you keep writing!

mmmm sex. I really like the languid flow of this piece. It drifts back and forth complacently like the exchange of kisses and caresses and smiles. It reminds me of a leaf falling to the ground....

I especially like the end. Those last two lines give it that seductive feeling, and tie in the sexual allusions (cherry, peaches and cream, die...). Wonderful. I want to set this to music and then have sex to the song ^_^.



Don't aim at success--the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side-effect of one's dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one's surrender to a person other than oneself.
