Yes, it's the month of Cupid, which we celebrate here. From comic flights of fancy, we move to something a tad sexy. This week, a poem from author, Rafeeq O. McGiveron.
Rafeeq has published Critical Insights: Fahrenheit 451 and Critical Insights: Robert A. Heinlein (forthcoming 2015) for Salem Press, and in 2014, a self-published novel, Student Body, which is available in paper and Kindle editions.
The poem below appeared in 2008 in the literary journal, Clean Sheets:
by
Rafeeq O.
McGiveron
Velvet split
peach,
so juicy,
overripe,
liquid and
fragrant
in the soft,
sighing night,
a plucked-open
fruit-bowl
to wallow within
as slippery
nectars
smear lips,
nose, and chin
and sticky-soft
flesh
slides ’neath a
tongue
wordlessly
writhing
in worshipful
song.
What other
night-treat
could satisfy
like this?
Ah, love—
to devour thee
is bliss!
