Click hereSunlight dapples the apple-mint. She loves
that scent flirting with her senses. She tends
her garden, with a care that sometimes shoves
away all sexual pleasure: she commends
such appetites, but quells them deep inside
for fear they might erupt and, thus, expose
her to such mercies as her woes betide;
And, yet, they're always with her, as she goes
about her planted plot, loving the pace
at which the flowers grow, as do desires,
which she can contemplate - a smile in place.
And no one has a hint of all those fires
that burn within, for she just shares the hint
of sunlight playing on her apple-mint.
Very beautiful--are you still out there? We conversed one time or more years back. You have the gift.
I like this poem a lot, but I would like it even more if you would eliminate the hyphen. It's apple mint, not apple-mint. I know, it may seem like a small thing, but it jabs at my eye, and makes me hear the word differently.
Five.
I read this poem yesterday and again today. In my (not so humble) opinion, it's perfect. I personally wouldn't change a thing. Your poems are so much more than erotica....
Apple-mint and other poems by O.S. are like a close-up photo, a snapshot of love on the cusp of lust. It's a five.
so I can come back and look at it again. I think it could well do with the loss of some words. nice
