Taboo

Taboo I can't keep my eyes off Your rosy peach complexion Just hanging in the warm Haitian breeze... So close but firmly shut. Guarded by your spiky skin As if to say wait for you to ripen under the hot August sun. To see you smile with black pearls exposed, To see you smile Open and ready to be plucked... I want you if only to die by your poisonous embrace. Just to taste the nutty flavor on my tongue. Oh, eight weeks will be too long.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
