Poetry / Unwrapping

If I whispered
A sweet sound in
Your one ear like
Oh-h-h
And then again
In the other like
My-y-y
Would it unwrap
The mystery that
You are
Like two twists
Of a sweet?

Would you sparkle
Like mint or
Would you sting
Like anise
Or would you melt
Warm against my tasting
Like buttercream?

I really enjoy the second stanza, the analogy of somebody unraveling like candy really flows well through my head. Maybe you could even develop that analogy some more in the stanza above.

The first stanza, i believe needs to be reworked a bit in both length and content. the last two lines i enjoy very much however. The two ‘sweet sounds’ don’t really sound sweet to me, perhaps I am not hearing or saying them right aloud, perhaps they aren’t meant to read aloud in that manner.

Prickled the hairs on the back of my neck and made me say “ohh”. Wonderful.  Only thing I could find to pick out – is the last or’s placement.

Good metaphor, interesting images. I assume this is symbollic of undressing a person. As such, undressing should be compared to unwrapping in descriptions of each act – extend the metaphor. Don’t use so many references to food without describing how they relate to undressing. Frequent references to food make the reader hungy, not longing.

Sweet, sensuous and yummy.  Like passion is a question…”like two twists of a sweet” and we are not knowledgeable of what that passion brings….I like the flow, beginning with a question and ending with a question…like love/passion is questionable.  The voice was sultry and sexy!
