Perfect Pair


“Breakfast” by: Fernand Leger, 1921

Perfect Pair

a perfect pair
quite mesmerizing
a luscious fantasy

so round and delicate
firm but soft
a pleasure just to see

warm and beckoning
such succulent centers
begging for a nibble

temptingly tender
so tantalizing
drool threatens to dribble

I lick my lips
my tongue imagines
each teasing gentle bite

resistance gone
they will be mine
these orbs of pure delight

I close my eyes
my heartbeat quickens
I’ve dreamed of these all night

my desire’s piqued
my hunger’s tweaked
for two poached eggs this breakfast
