You Bring Me Bread

You Bring Me Bread

You bring me bread,

fresh baked and kneaded

with your soft open hands.

You offer yourself

in naked, honest devotion

spread across my bed

in warm, flowing voluptuous

curves.

You hold out hope

and bold salvation,

like a warm poultice

to draw the poison

of the past from

these deep wounds.

Your adoration is like

the warm June sun

stroking my skin

till I am erect with passion,

anticipation and desire

for all of you.

And I would eat this bread

at the altar where

you have laid out

this carnal feast,

but I would break it

with you.

Would drizzle it well

in virgin oils and

sweet, aromatic, dark

 balsamic tastes

and flavour it with strong cheese

and fragrant herbs.

So bake me loaves

that we may share

many flavours together;

pesto, sundried tomatoes,

Parmesan, basil and garlic

and we will dine well

my love.

Flavours of wholesome goodness and healing - that universal need we all have at one level or another. Reading this stirred emotions of hope, relief and deep content, which makes it a personal favourite. Thank you for sharing!

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Many thanks Alex for reading.

[David Scott]

Your allusion to the offering of bread is both sacred and historic. The very life of a man that he lives by... Yet not by bread alone shall your soul find it's nourishment, I think. Nevertheless, a well savoured meal for sure!
Enjoyed the write John!
Be well.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Thanks lee

[Claire Twinn]

She's clearly a wonderful muse as well as cook, although only a very skilled writer like you could create such wonderful imagery and metaphors from a loaf of bread. Mmmm those oils and herbs....

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Thank you Claire; just love Mediterranean tastes!
