Hutinashro - As Dark Descends Upon the Day

As dark descends upon the day... When footprints park a kiss today. The slight divide of lips young verve. The soft meringue of love that seeks. The lemon sweet ~ the pie that peaks. Innocent brush ~ a slice that serves. A reddened cherub cheek ~ a flush... A downward slide ~ a cherry rush. The binding hips and luscious curves... O moon, aglow, round full-blown blithe. Release of pheromones that writhe. The stars so bright the twilight swerves. As dark descends upon the day, Thus closing in, where wrinkles prey. Two hearts surrounded by quick sand, And consequential limbs free fall. The limits up, for overhaul. A smack of lips — to taste is bland. But still...their eyes — with crescent love, Sweet smiles with heaven’s glow to move The waves of sea — reflection’s hand Of memory between two moons — The sensuous palm trees that swoon. Under the milky way...falls stand. The tongue of milk and honey-speak. A resting place in bosom’s peace. Two hearts of gold on twilight peak. 5/25/2018 Contest: Hutinashro Sponsor: Connor Lotts Iambic Tetrameter

Man, Kim, I am so hungry for either lemon meringue pie or cherry pie, and I have to say your poem has caused this. It's beautifully written, and I wish you good luck in the contest.
