Fragrant globs of gold gently kiss honey brown skin
Sparkling in the dying pinkish white sunlight
Winking, teasing, flirting and beckoning
With the intoxicating scent of sugary sweet promise
Drifting off the warm sleek surface in lazy waves
As fat yellow jacks suspend above on thick air
Poised to steal some succulent satisfying goodness
While the buzz and hum of a thousand winged angels as one
Finds its mark and drinks before rising pregnant towards
The blinding ball of fire making its final descent towards mother earth
Going down in glory as the graying light relents
Saluting as a cloak of darkness extinguishes all sight
And a round white face takes his rightful place
Staring down lovingly from the purplish black sky before
Casting a bewitching glow on that glorious honey brown skin
