NOW I AM YOURS

Imaginary Garden With Real Toads--d'Verse Poets Pub

I squeezed a peach
at the market
to size up its suitability
and then began to move on to another
when I heard it say
STOP
you have taken liberties with me
and it was true
I had fondled it 
excessively

it said
now I am yours
take me home and eat me
and I thought
how callous one would be
to refuse a plea such as that
from just about...
anyone
I guess

so I put the peach in my bag
and took it home
and now I am waiting
for just the right moment
to consummate our  relationship

(I know it's going to be juicy)

all actions
no matter how trivial
we may perceive them to be
have meaning
all actions have a resonating effect

keep this in mind
and somewhere
sometime
a butterfly
may thank you
