eating cherries

Sultry night air,
clinging to skin
like wet gauze,
and I would swear you could not offer
a morsel that would induce me to eat.
And then you say it.
Cherries.
Perfect.
Round.
Chilled.
So firm to the teeth,
then juicy sweet,
and you offer one to my lips---
no hands,
you murmur.
Just...your lips.
And maybe your tongue.
The game begun
I bite the first
as you look at my face,
my eyes
in the smoldering way.
The next I let rest on my tongue,
roll it softly
teasing myself,
teasing you
before again---
I bite down.
Sweet.
This time you hold it
and i nibble the juicy flesh
feeling it stain my lips,
and start to trickle down.
You catch one drop on your finger,
and offer it to me...
as delicate as a kitten,
i lick
then suck softly one that finger,
never once letting my eyes close,
or drop.
Want one?
I ask, a voice rich and low,
then place a cherry firmly
between my teeth.
You close the distance...
and I know we are going to share
our first kiss
sweet with the taste
of firm dark cherries.
Your lips
firm on mine,
your hands wound in my hair,
and in the instant
the fruit is eaten
I want nothing more
than the taste of you...
