Poem of the month (May 2008)
Sugar Highby Rebecca Lerwill©

I taste you.
Salty comes to mind,
yet earthly rich,
the way I like my wine.
I send
the tip of my tongue to explore
some more - and find another blend
of you.
Intoxicating brew.
Is it the aroma of something tart?
or maybe… my taste buds finding it hard?
to believe it’s your manliness I try
the so called candy of my eye
which seems to tease but never ease
me into a mounting sugar high.


Poem of the month (April 2008)
Scent Of Adoration by Rebecca Lerwill©

Is it the spring air teasing my nose?
Could it be tulips growing in rows
of reds and yellows pleasing the eye
or mother nature awaking in spry?

Would a fragile maple tree’s bud
carry such incense for my eyes to shut
or does the delicate leaf of a pansy
distribute aroma like a feathery tansy.

A breeze – so weightless and tender
to it’s stubble flavor I just surrender
inhaling deeply this sweet bouquet
to which’s seduction I’ve fallen prey.

Blinded by these zephyr charms
I let you take me into your arms
and as you conquer me with temptation
I smell the pure scent of my adoration.
