__________by Rebecca Strait
arresting beauty
you are soft on the
eyes and I would fain
rest my head
betwixt thy quiet, solicitous thighs
cuddle at thy breast
and leave faint kisses
upon thy beautiful
crimson lips
devour
the sweet, black-berry molasses
that drips
melting like rain
on my incite-full tongue
as we ride
each other’s passion
under an insatiable
blue moon
