Stolen Pleasure

by Siri Lipscomb

She devoured the idea slowly
First with her eyes
In restrained measured glances
Nearing it shyly but eagerly
Savoring every delicious thought

The wafting subtle scent
Caught her by surprise
The air redolent with
Fresh earthy aroma
Mother Nature’s gift

She closed her eyes and
Buried her face in the
Wondrous mystery of smell
Desire so familiar so new

She stole a furtive look-about
No one to witness
Her imminent transgression
Then nibbled delicately
That she should not disturb
The natural blending of style
And God’s design

She touched it gently with her tongue
Its heat enough to bring her
Fully in the moment
She put her face in it and
Moaned with gluttonous delight

The sound of a car door
The slam of the back door
The kitchen
Busted
He found her there
Purple from neck to nose

A very disturbed blueberry cobbler
Enticing as a good habit
Sat before her
Its usually perfect form
Distorted and gouged

He laughed and licked the errant
Blueberry from her sheepish face
Then scooped her up, licked her again
And carried her to bed

I love the way this piece starts out with a luring, provocative tone, lingers a while then lands smack-dab in a cobbler, only to finish where you had hoped it would in the first place. What an enjoyable poem. Peace...
