Slice Of Melon

When June scribes the flavor of man in fruit
Juices flow of ripe cantaloupe and mango ice
Reminding me of chiffon floating backless in the breeze
When we laughed until tears took over the rack of ribs
Hand in hand meandering a slice of moonlight
That made me hungry for the glisten on his lips

Pine has a scent of realism more hypnotic than wine
The trunks give audience without intrusive eyes
Moss is soft underfoot, un-disturbing in remark
Excited breaths massage from deep down emotions
Making way to fingertip journey on half lit slope
Hearing love made in echoes of resuscitative glee

Carried here in the simple sounds of night
Summer glimmers such pure and sweet highlight
A slice of almost always joy worth anticipation
That I should keep a picnic packed in goose bump ready
For this adventure was begun a dream to be
On evening winds that tip the slice of melon happily

This is a soooo very beautiful poem I wonder why people missed it.

How sweet to write like this?! I call this a real poem.

I wanted a  man out of water melon. better seedless so there is nothing annoying when I consume him. am I right?

It is a truly beautiful and very romantic poem.

happily enjoyed.

a pleasant ‘slice’ of summer thoughts evoking fine memories…

I REALLY like:

“Pine has a scent of realism more hypnotic than wine
The trunks give audience without intrusive eyes..’

enjoyed!
