Take the Fruit in Whole
        by
    greta ward


Licking the sticky juice from your fingertips;
You take the fruit in whole;
I watch your lips curl
Sensuously
Around the orb of succulent red fruit
Encircling
The sweet, sticky mass of ripe flesh;
Tongue licking delicately (almost unseen)
At the drop of liquid resting on your lip
At the corner of your mouth where
It had momentarily
Escaped your notice.

You take the fruit in whole - hungrily - 
Savoring the firmness of flesh;
The viscous life-blood juices;
And the snap of the skin - taut - 
For a moment against the insistence of your mouth.
Watching, my lips grow damp with desire
And I share your hunger.
Watching, I see the droplets run down your arm and
Drip from your elbow where my mouth waits
To catch them - 
Waits
To take the fruit in whole.
