temptation
by Maria Massarellayours
could never have been
just an ordinary apple
casual sketch feathered
strokes of forever minutes away
from being erased
winking mischievously
incandescent white on black
board captivating my surprised eye
artistic perfection
light caressing the soul
arousing lip-biting thoughts
exposèd to desire
envisionings of you filled
my mindseye
green as spring leaves
temptation's apple
deliciously close to
your mouth

"strokes of forever minutes away" is such a creative way to express that thought... sensual poetry that transcends the senses. Exquisite. |
