cherry-ripe
the inescapable charm of the mango season
full her lips
secret hips
to the eye conceal their pride
timid feet
ever fleet
host no self-indulgent ride
smiles that tease
not to please
hungry men in disarray
but to lure
without cure
random bursts of base cliché
purebred wine
undivine
scorch the palette of brave men
whose vile lust
in disgust
catapults to her in vain
cherry ripe
with the hype
of the crowd around the bend
who shall tether
in what weather
that which none can comprehend
sweet ripe mango
in her tango
lofty heights beyond my grasp
i shall spill thee
though it kill me
for your milk leaves me agasp
naught as fruity
as thy beauty
principled men compromise
i surrender
to your splendour
life is futile otherwise
