Oranges In August

I gaze upon you

Your figure reclining gently in the soft kiss of August sunlight 

“I love the light" you murmur 

The shadows dancing upon your curves

The fluttering movement of your chest 

All like a painting 

You tenderly caress the amber fruit 

Delicately peeling it...

Meditatively...

My beautiful philosopher with his orange in the August sunlight. 

In perfect halves you give one to me as you swallow the other 

Images of woodland springs dance through my head 

Sweet, fresh and tender

Just like you 

And your orange

Blessed in August sun.
