Succulent

Succulent

succulent nectar of plumping fruit
peeled back in promised sweet delight
laid bare engorged deliciousness
a vision of tender ecstasy

tart sweet tingle at tip of tongue
probing to lift the fleshy folds
as lips embrace the juicy pulp
teeth gently nip the bursting core

breathing in the rich bouquet
all senses teased and tantalized
my mouth devours the dripping treat
again and again until satisfied
