Her body undulates in pleasure as her lips taste
The succulent greenery she holds
Marvelling at the smooth exterior tough to bite
That hides a secret core of lifeblood
This she thinks is a secret she must share
Watching the asp carefully draw near
Her love watches her languishing at the tree base
Feeling not the rough torn bark
As it scratches his frame
But a smile plays across the cherry red lips as she
Unwittingly closes her eyes as the fruit touches her mouth
Sighing in pleasure of a newness discovered
Not yet shared
And he wonders how to make that smile return
Even for a fleeting moment
To burn onto his memory when she’s gone as she will
Maybe she’ll return but he is never sure
And that is the addiction
Hissing knowledge the asp quickens silent and stealthy
It also is hungry and needing
Her arm drops the fruit remaining as it strikes
Her movements startled it to bite
And the smile he saw gone forever
Or so he now dreams it….
