Kaki

…and he was told of an exotic fruit
the persimmons from the far east
Kaki
said to be the finest of it’s kind
when completely ripened, a most delectable feast
thus began his odyssey

…with it’s soft, smooth texture etched in his mind
 he set out to find the nearest Tanenashi
subtle in appearance, bold in flavor
best consumed when peeled and thinly sliced
the sweetness from it’s juices only the heavens could bequeath
his tongue pulsates with anticipation of his bite into divinity

…time for making a selection and only perfection will he choose
slowly and deliberately his perusal
finally within his grasp, at last,  the one he shall savor
so firm, so impeccable, most enticing
unspeakable euphoria while indulging in this orgasmic revelry
as it’s silky libations practically drops him to his knees

bowing with reverence
