Ode to a cherry

"Ode to a cherry" 🍎

(Not for the pure realists out here)

Flashing like those crimson ear drops

You winked at my tickling enzymes

Which pushed me all the way

To the fresh  fruits section of the supermarket

And bring you home for some 250 bucks.

In a customary, unembellished box

Which I know is so not your type. 

Stripping you naked from the clutches of that clingy plastic,

I laid you bare inside an alluring bowl

Which welcomed your deluge like a teacher trying to control her noisy students if at all an announcement is important enough to be made during their lunch break.

Some rubicund,

Some maroon,

Some red,

Some pale,

And some totally white.

Yet, retaining a tinge of red

Indicating,

Though anaemic, 

We have retained our ruddiness. 

You are one of a kind.

Glistening with the already stuck water drops on your plump body

Like dew drops upon the viridescent family. 

Reeking of sensuality like a girl with light clothes in the tantalizing rain.

Waltzing passionately,

Tugging at the nip of my lower lip,

You forced that tongue,without any request

To come like a fearless knight,

And embrace your succulent body like you are the sole possession,

He has prized on winning the tournament. 

And what reactions have you evoked deep inside? 

This sixty seconds fantasy can make me forget the sixty days of my last summer love, 

Easily for a while. 

You are so natural,

So pristine,

Without a tinge of artifice.

Sometimes off-season

You are also available

To satiate me and my enzymes.

No fruit gum,

No juice,

No lozenge. 

I want you juicy and raw in your original state.

Just when I thought I have got the love of my life,

The seed came out uncovered,

Stuck with little edible portion.

Telling me it's time to depart!

:))))))))) love 'em and leave 'em .very appropriate timing ... and who among us have not tasted such enticements .. in season and out ... i particularly am taken by this line:
"Tugging at the nip of my lower lip,"

I love food FCB and food and love making are good partners (I am told-he quickly adds!). You take another fairly every day subject and turn it into something subtly dripping in sensuality! Some of the descriptions are divine! The unruly class, brilliant!

[fattycbreezy52]

Aha..truly humbled! Very many thanks John:)

wow, the most sensual piece i have ever read about the cherry...

Tugging at the nip of my lower lip,
You forced that tongue,without any request
To come like a fearless knight,
And embrace your succulent body like you are the sole possession,
He has prized on winning the tournament.

What a perfectly personified, vivid image...

it's funny, because i bought a couple of bags a few days ago and have been enjoying them (with less verve in word, mind you) to the fullest... this is a fabulous piece... you weave such interesting and inspiring stories through your poetry... it really is a pleasure to sit and read your work... i am a huge fan...

thanks for sharing, FCB :D

[fattycbreezy52]
