Tangerine

Missing image

Stunning streams of citrus light

flower in their fiery hues,

seeping as a vibrant juices

deeply into the soul,

sweet and succulent in arousal's flavor,

dripping with honey of passion,

squeezed instinctively

from the heart's orchard.

 

Mind samples a bounty in tangential tangelo tones,

radiating their shades of carroty crispness

that crackle the nerves with a tangy tease,

warmth flows in the harvest as a sensory syrup.

 

Sunset's orange radiance

summon in the recesses

where joy's thirst craves the pulp of pleasure..

 

Drinking in the moment

from blender of savory ginger shaded ecstasy,

soaking into seconds as cocktail of elation

until one swims upon the tides of marmalade euphoria

the tempting taste of tangerine thoughts

so tauntingly appetizing.

    Just WOW!! The imagery in this is absolutely wonderful, as is the rich use of language.
