Strawberry Love

I am looking blindly into the fridge Searching and savouring the chilled air, I reach in Take hold of a strawberry and hand it to you. Its body, fresh and pure can relax in your palm. You are the keeper of my heart. Its many eyes, black seeds that rest around The waist, sleep in cycles, stare out into the darkness. It remains on your flesh, Merges like a collage with the twists and bends. As time passes, its chill dwindles. Harsh heat invades the creases. Its natural form bleeds away in a sticky juice.
