Red Pomegranate♥️🍷🍎💄🫀 ~ Poem

Long I have loved you from afar 

I have watched you from my window 

As you ripened on the vine 

Now I am human 

For I have seen your smile 

Out of my grave I have sprung 

For you are the one 

I will tell you of my love for you 

Of my devotion I will sing 

Every day and in everyway 

Until you feel 

Just the same 

I have brought you 

A blossom 

Bright with dew 

To wear as a crown 

Your hands are no longer like ice 

They are warm as the baker's den 

And your kisses are 

My freshbaked bread 

Without you I am undone 

Incomplete 

As cakes without icing 

And sun without shine 

Pomegranate 

Is a lovely name 

But Red Pomegranate 

Is like petrichor 

To a cruel Grecian god

It is Sunday 

My dear 

A Sunday for Pomegranate 

And all is right with the world

But yet you cry 

Are not jewels enough my love? 

What about the wine 

You often put to your lips? 

Is it not sweet enough 

To your precious tongue? 

Are its kisses as revolting to you 

As you now find mine? 

But I love you Pomegranate 

I do not love Mango

Or Pineapple or Pear

Not even Cherry or Plum 

But you must give me pass 

For I was so famished 

And without satiety 

Why do you hide your light from me? 

My sun, my stars, 

My shady tree? 

They came to me in a dream 

The foxes with red teeth 

They sniff the wind 

They search and search 

But cannot find 

The source of Eden air 

I could not find you today 

My little Pomegranate 

You had forsaken 

Your bowl, your creche, your home 

Are you alone

Out there

Somewhere? 

They are searching for you 

The foxes with red teeth 

Fever is in my bed 

I toss and turn 

Thrashing in the confines 

Of your satin prison 

The red sheets 

Turn my stomach into the sea 

But I will not surrender 

Into sleep 

For I will dream of foxes 

Clawing at my branch

Do you see now 

Why they have red teeth 

My love? 

They seek what is mine 

My Pomegranate 

Would you them have you? 

And not even for pennies? 

I forgive you Pomegranate 

Come to me 

And be my sun 

It has been so dark 

And rain laden 

But in you there is no gray 

Or cold

Your love is my warmth 

And stay

My teeth are white like pearls 

And my lips are stained 

With my love for Pomegranate 

I have hurt you 

And I love you 

Red Pomegranate 

More than life and light 

But your blood is so 

Juicy sweet 

And the tongue cannot resist 

To tell the teeth to tear

So it may taste

Once the only flutter in my chest 

Was from a glance of you 

Now I feel it at all hours 

And I fear it 

For it may take me from you 

You do not love me 

You say to me 

Not with your words 

Your mouth gives me sweets 

That your eyes cannot 

I watched you from the window 

But it was not the same 

I watched you go out

Into the sea of colors 

I watched you as you walked 

You looked good from down there 

You looked like you belonged 

All things of your hand are beautiful 

Your scribblings in the dark 

Your paintings in the day 

Your flowers that you water 

Your dishes made of clay 

The jewelry made of silver 

Tarnishing away 

And the furrow on my face 

Yes most of all 

If I look close 

I can see your finger prints 

I wish I were beautiful 

As beautiful as you 

Violet is the color of royalty 

And thus too, of beauty 

How thoughtful of you now 

To put it all over me 

Pomegranate 

O my Pomegranate 

Our love conceived in spring 

And born in the summer sun 

Though labor pains have shaken us 

Now gives way to drying leaves 

And whispers of the chill 

Ache in our bones 

Hurt me now 

As I have hurt you 

You are the wolf 

Sink your teeth into the weak 

And feast upon the blood 

Red as ripe Pomegranates 

We are bound to winter 

Cold and cruel 

Our skin turns blue 

My sweet Pomegranate 

No hearth can warm us 

Farewell my love

My sweetest Pomegranate 

These eyes see not the rot 

That you ascribe to your stem 

Nor the blight you claim 

Ravages your flesh 

You are as lovely 

And unmarred as the day 

I first set about 

Making you mine 

And if you should ever 

Find it in your heart to love me 

While I still draw breath 

Return unto my house 

And make it your home 

Goodbye Red Pomegranate 

Goodbye

Last night I had a dream 

You were standing over me 

While I was swaddled in my bedsheets 

Your eyes hot coals 

And they burned my soul 

Around your shoulders 

Were the furs of a hundred white foxes 

And when you went to open your mouth 

To speak 

Your teeth were red
