Discreet Trice

My eyes fall to the floor

as you enter the room

not from embarrassment

but to hide the lust

flickering in them

 

that single moment with you

lives on my face

and the rise in my cheeks

betrays the secrets

my heart promised to keep

 

your smile forces

my desires to dismiss

every ounce of common sense

setting the tone for an unplanned

yet controllable moment

 

the softness of your voice

numbs my mind

rousing the pulsation

of my love muscle

now screaming in silence

 

the warmth of your

breath still lingers

as you judiciously hovered

not asking for or

objecting to anything

 

your non-verbal moans

I am yours

sweet, vulnerable

and…

powerful at the same time

 

wrapped in emotions

breathing in

each other

pure effects of a

perfect moment

Sea breeze clears my mind as the waves washes the tension away. Belize my native land that breathes creativity and uniqueness with every ray of sunshine. Written words my way of standing up and speaking out.

    Beautiful said, and excellent rhyming, Ivor. Where do we land where there is peace and light?
