You look so sweet
so very inviting
so intoxicatingly tempting
fixated
my mind lingers
drawn by your beauty
lost in lustful attraction
hopelessly compelled
I abandon restraint
to bring my mouth
warm upon you
ever tenderly
but hungrily
urgently
fully
feeling you soft
and smooth
upon my searching lips
I bite you
gently
feeling your flesh
firm on my teeth
your juices glisten
trickle
dripping
from my trembling lips
your taste
earthen rich
tantalizingly tart
my tongue tingles
with luscious delight
your succulence
like love’s nectar
floods my mouth
captive to sinful excess
I devour
shamelessly
such sensuous pleasure
my sweet black cherries!

~ nothing quite as delicious as fresh-picked Oregon black cherries ~

This video has nada to do with this poem, it’s just I really like it,
and Lindsey Stirling & ZZ Ward are my two current Queens of Music
— though Oregon black cherries do hold my heart!
Seriously sweet!!
To swoon over Helen! ????????????????
Ah, one of my favorite (sensuous) fruits!
I have been addicted to them ever since I moved to Oregon in 1990 Ken. Even here in Washington, only one state over, there are not cherries as good — good, but not quite as… nor in Idaho or California.
Yummmmm! Fresh they are a wonderful treat. I love black cherry ice cream also.
Oh my yes Lisa! ???? My second favorite ice cream flavor among the Tillamook family, with Mint Chocolate Chip being my favorite.
Luv this sweet sensuous progression
Much love…
Thank you Gillena — much love… 🙂
Love your special treat of a grand poem, Rob, all the time! As Jade had suggested topped on a big glass of ice cream a blessing for kids and adults alike.
Hank
Thank you Hank… 🙂
You rocked the prompt, sir! This was sensual and amazing.
Thank you MJD! 🙂
Sensuously delicious Rob! Those big Bing cherries are hard to beat! Yum.
Thank you Dwight! Love me my deep black Oregon cherries! 🙂
you had me drooling with this one Rob!
Dem Beaver State Blackies are damned sweet and juicy Laura!
Sensuous and sweet love!
Delicious and fine!
Love this! So sensuous, so fruity! Wonderfully written Rob.
Thsnk you Kim! 🙂
A steamy response! Who knew a fruit could be so alluring. Those Oregon cherries look exceptionally delicious .Nice one, Rob.
Thank you Mish! 🙂
I’m wondering if these are the same as what we in the Midwest call Bing cherries that are grown in Michigan and are equally wondrous to savor. I must say, your description had me wanting to run to the store for some!!
Not exactly Bev. The Oregon Black Cherry is a hybrid cultivar of the wild sweet cherry (Prunus avium) that originated in the Pacific Northwest, in Milwaukie, Oregon, United States. It was developed in 1875 by Oregon horticulturist Seth Lewelling and his Manchurian Chinese foreman Ah Bing, for whom the cultivar is named. The descendent strain grows only in the Oregon Willamette Valley, owing to the specific volcanic soil type found in that region, and the particular seasonal impact of the area. The name “Bing” cherry has, over the years, been applied to strains similar to the Oregon Black Cherry, but they are not decendent strains of the original Bev — and they do not taste the same. Many cherry strains taste good, but different from the original Oregon Black Cherry.
The trees, grown directly from Lewelling’s original alpha strain, are in Liepold Farms Orchard in Boring Oregon. This is where Kathy and I get our Oregon Black Cherries the first week of July every year. Kath and I became Oregon Black Cherry snobs, upon our first taste on July 4th, 1991. We were so blown away that I actually researched the history of the particular strain.
Delightful Rob, and one of my favorite fruits.
Thank you Linda. I LOOOOOVE Oregon Black Cherries. See my response here to Bev.
I loved the metaphors of lovemaking, and almost imagined that it would be coming back to apples.
Certainly a number of apple types could apply.. However, I chose the Oregon Black Cherry because there is nothing quite like them that I ever tasted. See my response here, regarding their origin, that I made to Bev.
Yum! And your trembling lips too! Very evocative, Rob!
Yours,
David
Quite a Cherry David… 😉
Ah, I love cherries, and you capture the sensuousness of them so well! Less than 2 months to cherry season here, then I’ll be bingeing until I’m ill on them.
I hear you Kate. I frequently sit and eat a colander full of freshly washed chilled Oregon Blacks at a time when in season — which here has sadly ended… 🙁
I buy a kilo or two from a roadside farmer’s ute and eat most of them on the way home, spitting the pits out the window as I go. Which requires skill, because the driver’s window has been jammed shut for a couple of years. 😀
Bet the driver’s sest in your car is a real mess… 😉
There is much fruit in these words! Both forbidden and permissible. Very nicely done Rob!
Thank you Mary.
Ooh la la 😀 this is gorgeously worded, Rob!
Thank you Sanaa! 🙂
