regal
wearing armor
to hide what lies
beneath

your crown
sits like
plumage
upon your brow

mottled brown
perfumed
by a tropical breeze
I hunger
to be near you

Let me
strip away
your defenses
delve into the
sweet juices
that await

Let me taste
your nectar
liquid sun
quench my thirst
and my hunger

firm flesh
greets my lips
your strength
sings within me

once satisfied,
I lay on the sand
your taste
lingering
on my tongue
