Tangerine

I want to peg you away 
and stablish you on my lips
until the break of day
I'll slowly take a sip


I want to peel you
as you reminisce in your care
I'll hold you
and tear away your fear

My fat juicy and clean
loving you is easy
your taste so serein
so refreshing, so squeezy

I want to strip away your bark 
hold you close to my heart 
light away your dark
and moment by moment take you apart

I enjoyed this a lot...the word "tangerine" is so suggestive, and your handling of personification and symbol is quite masterful. Good work.
