Cherries stain her fingers bright,
Deep and dark as midnight wine.
She pops them slow between her lips,
Her smile lazy, soft, divine.
The window's cracked to summer air,
The city sighing, fast asleep.
She smokes and laughs, her lashes low,
Her secrets folded warm and deep.
The cigarette burns slow and thin,
Forgotten in her careless hand;
I lean to kiss the cherry taste
And feel her breathing where I stand.
Her teeth are gentle on my skin,
Her lips a quiet, glowing spark;
She bites, she soothes, she bites again—
The night is soft, the hour dark.
The clock has stilled, the world is far,
Just cherry pits and curling smoke.
The moon is pale against the glass,
And every kiss a promise spoke.
We stay until the sky turns gray,
Our shoulders bare, our feet entwined,
And every cherry, every kiss,
Is sweet and slow and wholly mine.
Oh, love, thy heart is cheery red,
A vibrant hue where passions tread.
In the depths of your fiery core,
Love's beauty and warmth forever soar.
Like the petals of a rose in bloom,
Love's crimson touch dispels the gloom.
In its embrace, we find our way,
Through life's tumultuous night and day.
It dances like flames in the twilight's grace,
A burning passion, an endless chase.
Oh, love, your heart is a vivid fire,
With each beat, our desires aspire.
In the quiet moments, your glow remains,
A steady beacon through life's joys and pains.
Thy heart is cheery red, a radiant art,
Igniting the flames of love in every heart.
With every glance, with every touch,
Love's red heart, it means so much.
In its fervent blaze, we find our fate,
A love so true, it's never too late.
Oh, love, thy heart is a blazing sight,
A beacon of hope in the darkest night.
In its warm embrace, we're safely led,
For in love's red heart, we're eternally fed.
In cherry-red there lies great grandiose
Cherry-fruits have marvelous attraction
Cherry-ruby can cost one's income gross
Cherry-red blossoms grand satisfaction
Cherry-fruits have marvelous attraction
Twilight, often, does cherry-red adorn
Cherry-red blossoms grand satisfaction
Sun in cherry alters the moods of morn
Twilight, often, does cherry-red adorn
Cherry-ruby can cost one's income gross
Sun in cherry alters the moods of morn
In cherry-red there lies great grandiose

Cnerry Red Wine
May I serve you some Cherry
Red Wine in a glass speckled
with gold?
On my special wood tray are
crackers with assorted cheeses,
wonderfully cold.
Oh, I am such a sneak!
All I wanted mainly were his kisses.
And I used this method, to fulfill
my dreamy, warm wishes.
Cherry Red Wine kisses, how they
melodically hum.
Maybe next time a drink more
potent....possibly rum?
Some Cuban dancing and a full
night of sweet romancing!
Cherry Red Wine, you started this
all!
Now, a wedding is planned for this
fall!

Cherry red lips
To taste your exquisite cherry red lips
Is more refreshing than fine red wine
even more exciting than a Luna eclipse
oh those cherry red lips are just Devine,
To feel those sensitive cherry red lips
perfectly shaped beautifully defined
undoubtedly makes my heart skip
when your red lips and mine are entwined.

CHERRY RED GLOW, WATCH WITH NO CHAIN
The beast, thus charred, bleeds red, from pit, alarmed.
He checks the time, and time again.
He set it once, a long… long time ago.
All fettered to eternity – disarmed.
He satiates his appetite with coal.
Chews up each act of cherry red.
Each piece a face, endless disgrace.
The burning embers burn, so slow…his soul.

What Was I Thinking Contest/sponsor - Daniel Turner
CHERRY RED
think a berry pie
poor fruit fallen
from a tree
foot sole cherry red
Sweet nothings,
from your lips,
and from each word,
poison drips,
in a dance,
they know so well,
your lips cast,
a binding spell,
cherry red,
oh how they shine,
on misplaced love,
they greedily dine,
infect my world,
that's what you do,
leave me broken,
when your spell is through,
from the memory,
of your sweet lips,
cherry red poison,
will always drip...
the bright
yellow lemon tree
her
cheeks blushing
almost cherry red
expressing pure beauty
when
she
turns her
full body figure
towards
the
Orange light
