All This Melts In Your Mouth

All This Melts in Your Mouth The sweet taste of victory blends sweat and tears mellowed over time’s slow cooking flame. Lust’s fragrance lingering on shirt collar and pillow hinting of moist lips slow drying in absence. Slow trickle of passion cleansing love’s palate a teasing bouquet to awaken new tastes. A sunset obscured of a prairie dust evening diffused as it dances to a tumbleweed lead. Last taste of old Summer slowly brought to its knees Cool taste of fresh Autumn exhaled from the trees. Harsh sting of salt air icy brine on the lips dark comfort to lover’s a warm good-night kiss. John G.
