SLURP!

Because it’s so warm, ripe and juicy
I do it standing up
I carefully peel
and I can’t help but feel
the wet flesh on my
fingers, hands and mouth
such, a lush
moist mess!

It’s nice now
and I smile like
I’m Christopher Columbus discovering a tropical bounty
after weeks and months at sea;
but, it’s just me
savoring the sunshine
and the earth beneath my feet
as I make love to the mango
over the kitchen sink.

oh, baby!!!!!!!

I'm feeling your innuendo! You're not the only one who makes the food/love connection. I once covered a girl in apple pie and whipped cream and ate it off her. IT WAS GOOD! So was this poem!

I'm glad I'm not the only one....

....who feels this way!!!
i knew it might be you Neo with the food/ love connection!!!...a man with such passion!!!!
Hmm... apple pie huh? Ok, I'm seeing why the apple slices might be a good thing....along with the whipped cream, of course!
Thanks Neo!!
