Bundled: nerves balled beneath tensed skin.
Quiver: emotions trapped deep within.
Pounding: drops across spread palms and feet.
Desire: longing of hot rain unreleased.
Fingers tingle down arched spine;
icy touch - churning smoke etched inside.
Breath: air heavy with a pressure all seek.
Inhale: spices drift across flushed cheek.
Breathless: drowned in resonant sensuality.
Gasp: remain immersed, submerged past reality.
Toes tentatively trace curled legs;
tangled limbs - twirled, 'twining, and meshed.
Tender: an embrace soft across breast.
Closer: tightened with unspoken, physical request.
Passionate: kiss upon lifted, openly oval mouth.
Discover: hands roving down a private route.
Lips linger slowly down countenance;
caressing chest - path of no resistance.
Thunder: figure quivers, straining hips.
Lightning: friction intensely pierces mist.
Wave: stirred and exposed, vulnerable and stormy.
Sinking: sea and ship combined in unity.
Whole entirety embodied in spiraling design;
bodies mingle - consuming fire freezing time.

This poem drives me mad...it just keeps circling around inside my head, and I have to keep coming back, and re-reading, leaving, coming back...and I don't know why!

I don't like sensual poems that take things way beyond, and into the disgusting. Thank you for keeping this clean, and for expressing the feelings without making it seem disgusting and wrong.

Thanks so much for your commment...I agree...I hate poems that take it way beyond, and it truly is disgusting...this is something very intimate, and beautiful, not to be...thrust about. When that is done, somehow the true mystery and fascination is lost.

Amazing!
I loved it! The wording was sensual but not overly detailed. Great write! -

I tried not to do too much detail, because alot of times that ruins the intensity...Half of the emotion is what we produce alone, the build up...
