Let me peel pomegranate for you forever
I want to love you, untill my heart stops pumping, until my hands tremble but still find the strength to peel a pomegranate just for you. I want to love you until the last of my teeth stands defiant against time, until my eyes grow dim yet still search for you in every fading light....

I want to peel his skin back, and eat it like the meat of a grape
In the cool light, I want to peel his skin back And eat it like the meat of a grape In the heat summer, I’m painted, red as Cardinal And stuffed full of Sparrow’s ecstasy At the summit of hysteria He holds me by the sinew And bends it till I break Numb on the skin’s landing - Head had me like a dog Trodden on...

Banana Peel- Virelai
Felt under my heel A banana peel I slip Loudly now I squeal Like a clapping seal I flip A mid air cartwheel Now terror I feel I yip! Need to get a grip Sweat beads off me drip Oh boy. I bend at the hip My feet now I grip No joy I brace, bite my lip And land from this trip Not coy Was this evil ploy? A cartoon decoy? With zeal! A...

Premium Member Music To Peel Grapes By
music to peel grapes by alone and drowsy after the storm thunder has melted away over the bay lights are low and soft melancholy serenade drifts sensuously through the room that is when they appear swirling about me in their full cocktail dresses sparkling as Christmas a mixture of expensive perfume wafts by I feel the air move Jackie’s music plays with my heart....

To Get To the Core, Just Peel Back the Onion
There are some who will be politically correct Don’t step on my toes, or voice an opinion To find what they’re saying we cannot neglect. To get to the core, just peel back the onion! You must look ‘neath the surface to find the truth ‘Cos what some say is not always what they think What kind of person...
