Devour

Oh how I love you, you must know

 

You come in many variations for me to enjoy,

 Spanish and strong, lasting ever long

Yellow or white, with your sweet delight

Tall and thin, with delicate skin

But all of which I do adore, ever more.

 

I dare not show your nakedness, it may cause alarm

For not all take kindly to your twisted charm

But when I see you covered up I can’t wait to strip,

To savor your delicious juices upon my lips

 

But alas when I peel back your layers of many

How you make me weep stinging tears of plenty

I wonder then if it’s worth it at all,

Does pleasure outweigh the tears that fall?

 

I wipe my face, looking through blurred eyes

Peeling back layers of tough skin surprised

I seek out the raw center of which I crave; is it wrong?

To want the middle which attracts my tongue?

 

When I finally have you in your bed

Of vibrant colours, yellow and red

I turn up the heat and watch you sweat

Oh simmering onion, I will devour you yet!

 

 

Author's Note

Just a silly poem because I felt like it. It's terribly written but I had fun nontheless!

Fun poem and cleverly written.

[An owl on the moon]

This was so smooth and playful, with the title setting the tone, and each line revealing another layer of your longing.. Very delicious write with a wondrous twist!

[Lyr J. Thirsk]

Rhythm Like EA Poe. If good writing creates images in the head, if art is to make words something that can be held like concrete, then this is good writing, and art.

I liked this a lot.

[Dingo the Archwizard of..]

Not at all terribly written. It was witty and clever.
