In the Mouth of Desire

In the Mouth of Desire

        touching me
     your lips, your tongue
   chalice
filled with sweet fruit
we’re no longer friends
when we sup
lovers
once again
we can’t
get enough
  sucking grapes
nibbling red apples
     tender, the nape of neck
  at
eureka’s urging

This is really erotic, and a perfect metaphor for it.

Thank you! Hopefully not too much. Had in mind a marital love, in making love you become closer than friends.
