Flavor of the Week



just one touch
of your scorching
velvet tongue
sends me melting
against your lips,
coolness fading
in the presence
of your heat,
what you don’t consume
left in a vanilla puddle
on the sidewalk
as you move on
to sample the next flavor.

Some people are never satisfied and continue to look for a reason to move on! Shun them.

ouch...this goes from sensual to a painful melt on the sidewalk discarded in the end..

What leap from the sweet sensual tongue to the sadness and betrayal ~ Well done including the picture, it says a lot ~

Lovely play of sensuality and doom at the end. Poor ice cream!! Should have given it to me!!
