bath time

entry picture

The soap slides from my fingers

like a slippery mango stone.

 

Gleaming blue,

your eyes sparkle,

bright-cut,

engine-turned.

 

And I splash you.

 

Your toes dig into my hips

as I lean forward

to kiss your lips.

Very lovely...I always enjoy poems where each verse is almost a haiku and would stand alone, as well as together. This almost does that for me. Not sure about the tautology in the first verse 'slipping like a slippery...' seems a bit...err.... solipslippery? It reads fine (to me) without the 'slippery'.

Which all seems a little bit pernikkety, now I think about it, so I'll shut up.

Very lovely!
