The longing was fierce,
A thing of claws, caged for too
Long, a piercing need.

Whizz
Too fast moving
Jars me so
Stand silent
In the shadows
Timid & afraid
To let real feelings show
I felt a smile once
Capture me
Knock me sideways
Dart away
Inside maybe
Just tuck your knees
And go
I had to flee
Before she found
She followed me
Touch softly so
I know

Prompt for 28 February

-Rub it in-
Make it stain more deeply, basically. Pressure imprints more deeply, rubbing blends them together. It’s ok with paints or colors, but with feelings it can hurt and be abrasive.

From the vault: Purest love

She is my joy
My everything
One glance, one touch can
Render me speechless
As long as I have I will
Embrace this night
Follow each curve to oblivion
Learn the shape of her universe
From the inside
Exploring the
Darkness of depth

He writes what he knows
Time after time
Rhythm not rhyme
Watching fingers move slow
Raising a line of pimpled skin
She shivers to contain
Words follow fingers
Tracing her contours
How the flesh folds
The spine bends
Hips rise to stand free
Receptive to hands

#justatouch
of salt
makes all
the difference
in a delicious dish
spices make it
exciting to the
palate.
So why do they
not use any
and keep their
food bland?
