between a woman and a man




auburn hair so smooth, cascading
past her shoulders, down her back
red lips curled in teasing smile
eyes that smoulder almost black

mesmerized by vision
brushing hair from his eyes sight
faintest shadow on his cheeks
sensual mouth suggests delight

with a swing in her slim hips
tantalising and inviting
from her shoulder falls a strap
oh so casually inciting

as he leans against the fence
eyes half-closed against the sun
dark hair curling in his neck
feigns disinterest but it's done

clear vibrations in the air
as they face each other close
separated by mere breath
mingling heat from bodies both

and she offers him her hand
which he takes, they walk away
words unspoken as they know
said as instincts best convey

  1. SHADOW, reading blogs like that--well, if I was not happily married, I'd probably be doing the 13th stepperoni at my morning meetings. SENSUAL stuff, actually Id have to say, your writings are SPIRITUAL. Because that is the way God DID make us.

    Anyway, I LOVE your stuff, as does everyone who visits.

    "...clear vibrations in the air..."

    Ya know, I think if I put my mind to it, I could feel clear vibrations across a city. Thankfully, I no longer have to "put my mind to it"...I've got my "her" at home, separated by mere breath.....

    Thanks for the memories, though. Beautiful!

  7. You write that:
    separated by mere breath
    mingling heat from bodies both

    Yes, only the moments we have passed in intense nearness are the real life. You have referred to that nearness quite neatly.

  21. sensuality at its best.

    i am not brave enough to share my sensual writings. i suppose i am shy when it comes to that. i shall work on the courage. :)

    i love your posts. raw but refined at the same time.
