Thursday Think Tank: Market Day

Cool to the touch,

succulent flesh

yields grudgingly

to hands that

reach out and

grasp in need.
.
.

Fingers stroke
soft, lush skin...

imagining how
lips might also

trail across this

naked pleasure.
.

Were you mine

my tongue would

taste your juice,

would savour

each fragrant drop

of sweetness.

.
Come to me…

my eager mouth

will not rest

‘til I am sated

on the repast

of your love.

I’m amused to watch the care with which discerning shoppers choose their fruit. They sniff, peer, probe and stroke…no detail is overlooked by those who seek the very best. I find myself wondering if their loved ones are afforded the same intense level of consideration that the dewy peach takes as its due!
