Ugly Surprise

The tongue has no shame.
It has spoken thousands of words,
tasted forbidden fruit,
dipped into ecstasy,
provided silken swirls of pleasure.
Not particularly attractive,
a hidden surprise,
seldom revealed...
and only to a favored few.

    This is one of my favorite of your pieces. It is compressed, focused, beautifully phrased, and lush at the same time. Ugly Surprise casts a spell. You should try to get this one published in a poetry journal!
