by Sze-Leng Tan
IT started with ‘once upon a time’
IT happened without any warning
Oh... Your tough-loving tangerine
seeped right into my dry defenceless lips
the sweet surf of your song
............................................................across my petals
Sips of your surging saltiness
your smooth passing... tempting
your dreamy entrance... enticing
you bite me with your cold surprise
............................................................in my Oasis
Your purple dream... my cavity
Your forbidden skies ... my universe
Your careless smile ... my sanctity
Your forest blood ... my curse
..................suave
...........................swizzling
.......................evolving
................volcanic
.........................poisonous
.................and
.......................I didn’t
.................................want IT
..........................to ever
....................end.........
