SO SUCCULENT


So soft, so sweet, so succulent,
his breasts were to her eyes,
a draught of spring,
a sip of winter,
a taste of Heaven's delight.

His angel wings
left unseen
but surely at his back,
sparkling eyes and
soft, soft skin
and embrace to soon impart..

Fictional, to use the ‘classic’ style of poetic objectification on men, to show men can be wanted by women too. Originally intended to be longer. Looking at it years later, I’m not happy with the last line. However, if I imagine the poem being about a woman, it doesn’t seem as strange to me, so perhaps it is okay as is.
