Warmed by day breaking

In through the shutters

Light fur of the skin

Curve of the fruit

Sweet flesh

Crushed in your hand

Drips, splashes, runs

Onto your belly

Down to your thighs

You smile, close your eyes

Push me lower

    Scandalous as hell and delicious, which is the perfect combination – peach and person, how can you go wrong with that 🙂

      Wait, apricot. Sorry, the heat sort of sizzled my brain a bit there. 🙂 Apricots are even better!
