Forbidden Fruit?

Red and juicy, 
sensual shape, 
sexual by nature, 
they drip promiscuously 
on my prurient lip.

Tastes of summer, 
girls in flimsy cotton dresses 
flirting shamelessly, 
and sinfully suggesting 
assignations in the park, 
in the darkness, for a lark.

Their flavors captivate, 
and make me hunger 
for an intimate embrace!

I guess as long as there are guys to appreciate there will be girls to flirt with. A sweet taste of that moment!

Never has "fruit" inspired such erotic emotions as those I sense in your wonderful poem, Keith. I went fishing today -- nothing biting, rough water. I'll be home Wednesday, but I wanted to stop by the Soup to see if you had written anything new. You have the heart of a true romantic! Talk to you soon. Love, Carolyn
