Swollen scarlet orb
basking on blanket
sun bleached terrycloth
Dare you deny provocative display?
Cheeks
basking on blanket
sun bleached terrycloth
Dare you deny provocative display?
Cheeks
blush overripe
pink
spongy canvas
beneath red folds
perfect size for palm.
Layer beneath layer
reveals protruding ruby
cluster.
Hungry shards
tear fleshy fragments
trace of scarlet tells
you’ve eaten too much.
Perfect seed spotted
pluck from honeycomb hideout
suck gem until pressure bursts skin.
Chomp
on wrinkled infertility
hard pit breaks tooth
spongy canvas

perfect size for palm.
Layer beneath layer

cluster.
Hungry shards
tear fleshy fragments
trace of scarlet tells
you’ve eaten too much.
Perfect seed spotted
pluck from honeycomb hideout
suck gem until pressure bursts skin.
Chomp
on wrinkled infertility
hard pit breaks tooth
Jaw clenching
climax.

I'm a 21-year-old English Major who's been writing poetry for the last couple of years; it provides a substantial distraction from diabolical research papers! I live on Vancouver Island, British Columbia which provides me with endless natural inspiration. My blog is: anneliza.tumblr.com -- just a microcosmic representation of the tone and focus of my poetry.
