Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Cherry Lust

Cherry Lust   by JT Curtis

Intro


Is it Love
a simple bowl of ice cream
sweating from the heat
cherries on the top
huddled 'round and looking sweet


two little wooden paddles
pretend that they are spoons
as we sit beneath the stars
in the savor of the moon, 

your lips are all I see
as they caress them with a passion 
the cherries on your tongue
in a delightful playful fashion 


Chorus
with our eyes intent and focused
in a stare of solemn trust
Is this ice cream truly love
or is it merely cherry lust

Instrumental

two little wooden paddles
pretend that they are spoons
as we sit beneath the stars
in the savor of the moon, 

your lips are all I see
as they caress them with a passion 
the cherries on your tongue
in a delightful playful fashion 



Chorus
with our eyes intent and focused
in a stare of solemn trust
Is this ice cream truly love
or is it merely cherry lust
