I think
I prefer, the peeling action over the actual consumption
I murmur to an empty room, with belated realisation
like with this gripped Tangerine
its skin - pressed tight, forcing me
to tear into it, with arrowed eyeteeth
slow and steady, a game of unravelling
in one continuous motion, revealing its juicy flesh
one tumbling spiral layer, at a time
did you - know, back then
and is that why, your little-black-dress
with its distinct, golden side-zip
would be laid out, waiting
basking, in that peeking moonlight
whenever you felt, like we needed
to rekindle
our attractions, faltering furnace;
years later and I’m, still learning
why my loyal fingers fervently remember
right hand - purposeful
deliberately savouring - each
teeth element’s surrendered, (z)nip
sliding, caressing - flowing
over every hinted sway of seductive, curve
like a single bead of sweat’s teasing descent
on a cool Winter evening’s, gooseflesh skin
left hand - resting
at that nerve ending, sweet-spot
where your beckoning waist, greets
those enticing hips, resonating
with your anticipation’s unbidden tremors
just, as I deliver a suggestive gentle squeeze
to coax free
our simultaneous sigh of breathless intoxication…

Best be careful there, friend; for zip to lip often draws blood and a lasting painful warning. Awesome poem.
spoken like one whose lived through it
and survived...
and as-ever, pain recognises pain
not just in wincingly vivid imagery
lol

I'll aspire to heed your wise words
Your wording and gradual buildup was seductive and alluring. So tastefully written it was enticing and drew me in. Very nicely done.

I agree with Neville - this is certainly one of your best and so readably penned it goes straight into my list of favourites with top marks my friend.
wow! just awesome
you've made my day, dear Fay
thank you!
As the flow goes, it’s immaculate. While reading my mind wandered off to many scenarios - a seduction of a female, or that of a string instrument
