Midnight Rendezvous - For Contest

Midnight Rendezvous

I have slept with watermelon
caressed the firm curvaceousness,
lustily bathed in scented
come-on of baking bread,
kissed gently the smooth fuzz
of sun warmed, stolen, peaches,
tasted the salty sting
of clandestine rendezvous,
darkened room, refrigerator moonlight,
succulent secret moments
passion’s fruit
satiation’s lip licking climax
dripping on my bare chest,
tantalizingly tickling
a depleted six-pack.
The refrigerator door closes,
a dark guilt follows me
back to bed.

Andrea Dietrich June 25, 2016 at 10:08 AM wow!! You are amazing. I used an oldie for the contest, a personal fave of mine. but this one is so CREATIVE. It is very well crafted, John. John Lawless July 1, 2016 at 8:02 PM There's just something about those midnight snacks, brief affairs shared in the dim light of an open fridge door. Thanks for reading and commenting Andrea, always appreciated.
