Fresh Fruit

Blueberries
Your eyes glistening wide
Seeds of affection flourish inside

Clementines
Slices of smiles to share
Lively cheer, totable anywhere

Pineapple
Fashionable hair spikes
Rough, unshaven cheeks, my smooth face likes

Persimmons
Sweet, tender, fruit of gods
Your lips against mine, my heart applauds
