Sweet, delicious Nectarine

by Everlasting   Dec 31, 2014


Oh sweet, delicious nectarine,
that from a tree, you fall to me,
like once love did...
Should I safeguard you in my hands?
To rot forever on my flesh?
Like once love did...
Or should I bite and feed from you?
To taste you whole and fall for you,
Like once you did to me...

Oh, but, oh sweet, delicious nectarine,
that from a tree, you fall to me,
If from you I shall bite and feed,
Would you not disappear from me?

Oh, but, oh sweet, delicious nectarine,
If from you, I shall bite and feed,
Would I find within you a seed?
Or none? to plant and grow new trees.

Oh sweet, delicious nectarine,
That from a tree, you fall to me,
And in my hands, I hold you near,
With every bite, I find in you a seed,
To plant and grow new trees,
to give your fruits, the nectarines,
As if they were love,
To give, to plant, then eat.

    You know for some reason I could picture a maiden holding onto her love and speaking out these feelings. I like how you have given character to the Nectarine...nice read dear :)

    AMAZING!!!!

    Luuuucero! this is an awesome piece!! I just love the way you have worded this the word choice, tempo and flow is perfect, But, the way you presented this is just epic, to me it reads as something old, it's kinda like old english or shakspearean without the thee's and thou's...right now i am very annoyed i can't nominate....this is wonderful.
