Love in sharp light

His scent is home made lemonade
His talk is orange and lime
and skin like juice and soft pulp
white pith and tart.

A sharp taste meets tension
in my mouth making my jaw ache
and tiny droplets of moisture
drip slowly around
dimpled surfaces on the washed fruit

I hold in my hand

the dimples and his chin......
spiky blunt hair tickles; ends the moment as we kiss.
He is silent just for a sip while citrus fruit
seems to squeeze from the sky.

Love in sharp light

His scent is home made lemonade
His talk is orange and lime

A sharp taste meets tension
in my mouth making my jaw ache
tiny droplets of moisture drip slowly
around dimpled surfaces on the washed fruit

I hold in my hand

the dimples and his chin......
spiky blunt hair tickles
the taste of marmalade as we kiss
citrus squeezing out of clouds.
