The ish of delish....

bradroyale — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 11:03:50 -0600

It is the ish of delish  

That I seek for my mouth  

The fruit that I squish

 From the slope from the south

My mouth is wanting  

The liquid it adorns

 This glass comes the haunting

 From my head the horns

It comes from inside

 This yearning for ish

 My time I cannot bide

 Hot inside feverish

More is more  

Is what I crave  

Quite the lore  I must be brave

Brimming with juice

 I fall to the floor  

My composure is loose
