Rhymes With Orange

I watched you peel that orange

And press it to your lips

I watched you take a bite of it

And the juice drip off your fingertips

I watched the breeze sneak through the tree's leaves

And brush across your back

And I watched those apple blossoms

Flutter down upon your lap

My love I am searching for

The perfect words to say

Words that will delight you

Perhaps even make your day

But the harder I try to find them

The more twisted in my mind

Until those words are tangled

Like a bittersweet vine

You stand up, brush the blossoms away

And gently sway your hips

Take another bite of that orange

Wink at me and blow a kiss

I said "My love, your beauty

It takes my breath away"

You twirled once while laughing

Said "What a silly thing to say"

And I stood and opened up my arms to you

Said "My love, those words are

The best that I can do"

You offered me the last of that orange

Held it out for me to take

When I reached for it

You laughed and pulled away

You sat down and smiled at me

Said "My kindness fills your heart"

I said "I'd kindly fetch another orange

Just to watch you tear it apart"

You said "Now my darling

Those were the perfect words to say

Go fetch me that orange

And I'll play with you all day

Go fetch me that orange

And I'll play with you all day

Go fetch me that orange, love

For you have made my day"
