Strawberries and Chocolate

For my friend, John.

I.

The sum

Is

Greater

Than the

Parts.

Look

At me.

From a 

Distance-

Bright

Brilliant.

In your

Hand,

Bumpy.

I intrigue-

Entice-

A fruit

Softly

Bidding

Taste me.

Surprise!

I am 

Sharper

Than you

Imagined.

II.

Mystery

Always

Draws us.

Darkness

Is fear-

Delicious,

Delightful

Fright.

Wrap me

In your

Depth-

I surrender

My cool

Exterior

To your

Fever.

Ah!

The sweetness-

Smooth

Caressing

Perfection.

the luring, then the surrender...

this has great bounce to it...i like poetry with very short lines like this, and that hesitation between words when the lines end
and then pick up...

how much opposites attract...and seem to fit together so well...the cool to the fever.

nice work...

i am going to look at more of your page.

Thanks! I am so glad you appreciate my style. :). It has come with lots of work. I am delighted that you enjoyed this poem, too. I hope you find the rest of my poems to be equally fun to read.
