OUR LOVER'S FRUIT
OUR LOVER’S FRUIT
I want to look for you among the orchards,
Little by little you turned into luscious fruit.
You took greenness from the earth and mixed
It with the sky as your sap climbed its branches.
It is among those leaves of a canopy rising to heaven
That you erect yourself into the most statuesque of
Beings uniting the promises of heaven with that of
The earth- this is the pleasure and sweetness of you.
Your flowering pre fruit bespeaks of delicateness
Not unlike the most gossamer petals in Elysium;
For my mouth is satiated by the taste of you
Not for the sake of my manliness do you exist
But for your own reasons yet our lover’s blood
Enlivens every time I taste of your succulent fruit.
