You Drip Down My-

Poppy's Prompt for August

I picture you atop cotton candy ice cream

Light like sprinkled chocolate flakes

You melt sugar upon my tongue

Taste buds flooded by your sweet essence

I constantly crave your presence

Lick you off the palm of my hand greedily

You are my dear temptation, yet

Dear,

If only life was fair

And time was more convenient

So we could get all origami'd under the sheets

I'd send your mind flying

As you'd grind your nails into my backbone

Mark me yours and howl my name

But instead,

You're at work

And I am home alone in twisted sheets.

Ooop, got a bit steamy there hehe. My wife started working so...

Anyhow, check out Poppy's Prompts below where I was tasked with using the following five words in a piece: sugar, fair, fly, palm, origami.
