Sinful Picnic
Hand in hand, traversing this garden
bare feet felt the tingle of grass and vine
emerald green and lively sprawling growth
delicate breeze gently blew swaying branches
leaves danced in rhythmic praise to the elements
Flowers fragrant, lovely....vivid hues
mocked the leaves dance in turn and tempo
Reigning over stems, thorned and anchored
A symphony of unison, harmoniously perfect
Swirling sky of ominous orange and indigo
Setting sun paints its final portrait
before conceding to the galaxy's window
Littered with sprawling clouds reflecting last touch of light
Birds of prey savored this opportunistic backdrop
Upon this tree's final gift of shade
We lay naked, natural as the world surrounding
Running fingers through your tussled tresses
Eyes locked and searching...intercepting each others thoughts
Through emerald blades, slithered and hissed
Serpent made way to our dissipating shade
Sly forked tongue, yellow eyes, pupils slits....hissing
Laughing with ridicule and spite, promising euphoria
Offering unseen bliss, inviting demise
She peered upward past my down turned gaze
Searching out the gifts this tree bared
Fear struck my heart as she licked her supple lips
Her teeth sunk in...Juice mist sprayed with
her savoring a forbidden bite...eyes glazed with ecstasy
My soul shook as her lips met mine
Sweet nectar running over our mouths mingled
Frantically I drank her kiss, lusting
Retracting only to devour our exquisite fruit
Rejoined embrace, tongues darting hungrily
Beneath this tree we lay, intertwined and sated
Glowing in sinful reminisce...eyes locked and searching
The leaves above empty and sorrowed
We lay amongst a sea of eaten cores......
