Luscious

Luscious
--------

Her plump reddening cheeks
invite you,
tempt you,
taunt you...

to squeeze them ripe,
to taste them,
to bite them soft,
and then harder,
and harder,

and harder
to feel alive
to see the pain in her eyes,
brimming tears,a quivering lip
is all you are left with

A warm kiss,you suppose,
to take away the pain
that you gave her
does nothing to cheer
her sullen eyes

A solitary rolling tear
caught as it falls forgotten
a promise made,
but soon,
it too will be forgotten

and all this alas!
fails to bring a smile
on her

The truth, you tell her
is old as the original sin

being luscious, is her fault...
not yours

apples are meant to be tasted
even when on cheeks
and she smiles,
for you are forgiven

hallelujah!
the truth shall set you free
