silky as tofu
pearlescent like rice water
warm as matcha froth
creamy as coconut milk
i swallow smoothly
wet as rose water
fragrant notes of butterscotch
dripping like honey
raw egg white viscosity
i ‘show/don’t tell’ you
sticky, tangible feelings

This poem is so tasty, rosy, even amorous. Thanks for writing this. Just stumbled upon it so I have random thoughts coming out. Going to check out more of your work. :)
Beautiful piece. Congrats
Wooohooooo congratulations!!!! So happy for you!!!
Congratulations Zara. Wonderful and well deserved! ❤️
Congratulations! This is an exquisite poem, and I am not sure its implications have really been recognized or lauded as they ought to have been!
Congrats! Simply beautiful!
Congrats, Zara. Back to say congrats and well done on placing in the challenge! So well deserved!
This is gorgeous. The metaphors you chose are so unique and gentle, creating a sensual, loving and intimate piece to read/experience. I love this, Zara!
… I also love how your poem exemplifies physical reactions to mental fluctuations and experiences 🤗
So glad I stumbled upon this! It’s exquisitely written and, to me, obvious the reader isn’t the ‘you’. The poem needs no further embellishment; over explaining would have undermined it. It’s perfect as is ❤️
This was something else. Can totally see this placing. Well done on this magic piece of writing. Loved all the different descriptions and elements and also think you were clever with how so many of them feel so connected as tofu, rice water and matcha etc. Very clever, very sensual and a stunning piece. Would be surprised if the overlords don't make this Top Story!
There is something strangely holy about this poem.
The way my jaw dropped when I realised what this was about. I had the epiphany at "swallow", lol. I loved all the metaphors you've used. So brilliant! It was so beautifully written!
And what have you shown us? Anything with which our hearts & minds & sense memory connects. You have allowed us the freedom to enter into this sensual experience in any way we might find meaningful. Well done.
Oh wow that was so amazing the way you really did show this! It was really a visual piece, vivid imagery. And gives you the feeling of being somewhere, in a moment, experiencing the piece with all the senses. I think a piece is incredible when you could feel it. Excellent job with this!
The power of metaphors…. Also, perfect image for this!
😮 excellent!!! I read it twice and yes, it was showed very well!
This is really filthy!
Sweet!!! Love it❤️❤️💕
Ohhhh Myyyyyy!!!!!! You showed well!!!
