Eliese (eddy styx) mild

Eliese

in the bright noonday sun
her hair was the color
of creamy golden caramel
tilting her head to peer up at me
long lashes lacing each other
on her peach blushing cheek
just dusting her captivating skin
she looked good enough to eat
(so I bit her...)

Dearest Cat...

the end lines project the fore lines ...it brings out the over powering natural human instinct to bite or taste whatever one likes....and the title "Eilese" by itself is so very delicate and savory...it lifts the poem even further..
