A take on the Read Write Poem prompt Opposites Attract. The finished piece is first and the two poems I wrote to complete the prompt follow.
Happiness and its Nemesis
A summer morning
Flesh on flesh
Lemonade dripping from your lips
A hand slowly slipping up my leg
The sun, a witness to our innocence
Fingerprints drawing a path on my skin
I think to myself
I want to live in this moment
Then you whisper in my ear
You are nothing without me

This is brilliant. Both poems individually are great, and put together they are just ... delicious.
