The Sweetest Things

The rosen mush of tomato innards
Rushed down from her pursed lips
And bloated cheek pockets,
Both working to keep the rest in.

I'd summoned a guttural emission:
Deep laughter that infected upward
Until her freshly filled mouth
Was distracted enough to oblige.

I have a forte for conjuring smiles
When we steal away in summer
To find a field full of ripe and ready
Plunder that we consume, always delighted.

In these moments I am satisfied
With the joys of Earth's providing heath
And a heart warmer than the rays that
Cast brazen glares into our young eyes;

Her laughter and our summers are
The sweetest things I ever hope to know.
