Carmel

I went back that day we stood with bare feet in my garden
Next to the tree where I plucked a tangerine for you
placing a fresh blossom behind your ear
earthy clay between our interlaced toes

I fed you
and you licked the juice that dripped
from my palm to my fingers
never taking your eyes of my eyes

citrus bliss
I grabbed your wrist
honey laced butter kiss

fleshy floral fruit taste
tangerine oil essence floating in our air
burning sun fire
causing droplets of sweat to bead on your carmella skin

Your dewy complexion, blushing
My racing heart
Your copper kissed curls and coquettish laugh
My love, I want this back
