The man is alone.
The man answers the phone.
"Do you want to come see me?" the woman asks.
"Do you mean it?" the man asks.
"Sure," the woman says. "Hurry..."
The man hurries.
"Come in," the woman says when he knocks.
He takes off his shoes at the door.
They hug, move, stop & embrace more.
"You didn't have to take off your shoes," the woman says.
"I take them off at home," he answers.
Later, but not so late, the woman asks:
"If I get the blue emu, will you
rub it into my shoulder?"
He continues to hold her.
"I will," he answers.
On her bed, he says:
"You must take these off.."
She does.
"& this..."
She does.
He puts the lotion in his hand,
blows on it, for it is cool.
"Do you want me to turn off the fan?" he asks.
"It's okay," she says.
He begins to massage her shoulder,
her neck, her toes, then her hips.
She moves her hips up & down
against him.
He leans forward on his elbows.
"You'd best not do that," he whispers in her ear.
She moves her hips again;
then there are blank pages in the novel
the author did not write
upon,
& more blank pages, then the woman says:
"If I asked you to stay all night,
I think you'd say yes..."
"Yes," he says...
& there are more blank pages in the novel
before the chapter ends.
Please tell me what you think

I adore how you ended this... the blank pages, is perfect. I also felt a sense of urgency (which makes for great passionate moments).
A beauty... but that's always the case with your poetry.
Loved it !

I've been gone so long that seeing you here makes me sad I have thought I was too busy to sign in. Will visit now...

each chapter more sensual than the one before.
I like the boldness in the blank pages, letting the reader's imagination fill in the blanks.
excellent poem, rudy!

Thanks, travis... Boldness in the blank pages... Never looked at it that way...

Of course I try and fill in those blank pages.
I like the use of the suggested lacunae of words and the words actually presented.
Nice work
