Garnet

sweet juice of
pomegranate seed
spilling forth
garnet drops

upon her lips

moistened now
and shining
plump and
pleasing,
teasing

beautiful lips

let me taste
the garnet juice
of pomegranate nectar
and I promise
to return

with matching gems
to adorn her
fingers
as my lips upon hers
linger

O for taste
of liquid garnets

Lady in White...the color of your words is trancing, and the simplicity of this piece in both presentation and brevity, make it a delight to read.

I love the sweet but entrancing simplicity of the message in this piece...well done!

The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges.
