Cider Press - 1. Cider Press

The time to savor the ripeness of the harvest is here...

Cider Press

Now take me to your secret lair
out in the barn, beneath the stair,
and lay me out as you desire
to press your weight upon me there.

And while I am as you require
within that place where we retire,
the season's tastes I will express
are warmer than an autumn fire.

My blushing skin will you undress,
beneath you all my moves confess,
my urgent need to be remade,
so by your arts my body bless.

Transform me then, I'm not afraid,
for in your loving arms I've stayed,
give me your answer to my prayer
that I'll recall when I am greyed.

Beautiful and sensual. You have such a way with words, dear friend.

 

How very kind you are. One wonders how the apples feel, if one can be anthropomorphic about it. It can be quite fun, really. Thank you for reading!

Why is it I can't both love and laugh in reactions at the same time? No matter. Thanks again, tim.

Another beautiful offering Parker. You have such an eloquence with the English language. The piece was sensual and left me sensing the spices of the season. Well done.

Thank you for reading this. It was fun creating the appeal to the senses, and if you felt connected to them through this, then the poem was effective. Again, thank you.

I thought fall was supposed to be cool?  This feels more like the dog days of summer. ;) Nice job, as always.  I enjoyed this.

Autumn is all about warmth. It just happens to contrast with cool, yet the heat remains in all sorts of places. Glad you enjoyed this!

...I don't know... the process is all so graphic... the crushing of the apples and then the pressing... the original is destroyed, and all for the juice. Do I want to think of my dear friend worked through such an irreversible process? Are you only worth the juice you contain? I think I'd like you whole and perfect, just picked from the tree. 

 

This poem gave me thoughts and images to ponder. Looking forward to more of the "Cider Press" collection.

You acutely voice my own doubts. Such a pressing irreversibly transforms, and so we ask if the experience is worth the transformation. I am very glad you find things to ponder in this, that there are questions or images that stick with you. And thank you so much for reading from this collection!

The heady scent of fresh crushed apples lingers on the crisp autumn breeze ... the desire is to add warm spices to flavor and rich ruby port to fortify the juice and bring forth hot mulled cider ...

Thank you for reading this. The transformed apple becomes something amazing, doesn't it? Something wonderful to warm the winter...

Sorry, I'm late, but I couldn't access this when first posted... tried a couple of times. Loved the double entendre of this. So beautifully conveyed, Parker. Loved it! Cheers... Gary....

There was a glitch when I posted it at first, so I am glad you found it again. The multiple meanings give the flavor added depth, I think. Glad you enjoyed this.
