Orange

Orange
a firm outer skin
delicate lobes of life inside
explode with clinging liquid
its juices sputter around my tongue
sharing its citric ecstasy
when bitten.

A flush of aromatic tang
liquids swirling around the throat
filling it with delirium
all of this
and only a single bite.

I found this to be an erotic descriptive poem . Clever wording and excellent flow.

I liked this poem instantly. I can almost taste the orange. One criticism: on the last line "and only a single bite" kind of confuses the reader. I think it would be better to write "in only one single bite"

This is an excellent write. Palpable. The verbs used throughout give it a very sensual feel.
