Eating an Orange

Rough orange skin

Resists my touch

As my hands fumble

To reveal its softness.

Bit by bit

My fingers dig

Into its hard outer covering

Reaching for buried treasure

lying within.

Piece by piece

No longer struggling

It cannot.

Wishing only to submit,

To surrender,

Easily peeling away.

Soft flesh explodes!

I taste its sweetness upon my lips.

Juices running down my face

Savoring each delicate droplet

Melting upon my taste buds

In wild ecstasy.

Trickling

Along my fingertips.

Succumbing to this moment

Where love appears as an orange

To fill and nourish me

While ravishing my senses.
