# Tanka Tuesday Challange #3
[Sapphra
Five lines. One image. Infinite longing.

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
