summer peaches glow—
sumptuous sweetness deepens
in the late June sun.
golden juice runs down my chin,
each bite a rare luxury.
Ink stained fingertips,
who tucks handwritten notes in,
Heart left far behind,
into the very pocket
of your favorite blue jeans.
She steps out, still wet,
sumptuous water on skin,
falling like soft light,
droplets dress her cheeks in glow,
I stand there, lick drops in awe.
A feast for his eyes.
She offered him a soft gaze.
Her sumptuous smile
was, though, sadly, quite fleeting,
as his wife checked his eyeline.
Her unveiled skin
Is wantonly sumptous
He drinks thirstily
From the abundance offered
She is his only altar
She likes to show off
Her sweet, sumptuous physique
Lay bare before me
The thought of her touch excites
And her taste is what I need
sumptuous summer days
the fan hums its steady song
scorching solstice sun
overcome by the furnace
sliding my throb deep within
found it
had him at first glance
lathered in sumptuous oil
he slipped right in her
the sun blessed matrimony
after the very first night
Sumptuous embrace
dissolves the walls we have built
into molten gold
bodies and souls entangle
as sacred fire consumes us
