Nectarous

I'm craving a mango
and you

I have neither

but this hunger is too big to calm,
so my teeth tear into your words like fallen fruit
fully ripened adjectives, palatable conviction, juicy imagery

how they strike me
to the core

my belly all swollen
with you

    Brilliant as always. Loved these lines:

    so my teeth tear into your words like fallen fruit
    fully ripened adjectives, palatable conviction, juicy imagery

    Great job!
