Orchard Fantasy

Opulent surroundings this fine orchard dwells Royal blood runs through each and every branch Grand displays of brightly coloured fruit A vast covering as far as the eye can see Nectar sweetens the air and fills the honey bees Idyllic when at one with nature all around Cultivating the paths to my inner sanctum Fine fruits tantalise my watering mouth Rich in vibrancy ready to be picked Ultimate pleasure soaks my desire Indulgently I accept the sumptuous offerings Tantalising my tongue as I sink my teeth to bite Succulent pieces fill my stomach and my soul
