Sunlight 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.

erectus123over 3 years agoVery beautiful--are you still out there? We conversed one time or more years back. You have the gift.
theognisalmost 11 years agoI 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.
case28almost 11 years agoI 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.
HarryHillalmost 11 years agoso I can come back and look at it again. I think it could well do with the loss of some words. nice
