Liminal Space

N. Christine

A slow burn,

the way he wants me -

on my knees, on my back.

 

His eyes sharpen when he hears please.

 

A slow burn,

the measured weight of his words

Tell me how you want this.

 

My skin grows hot when I hear mine.

 

I only exist in this space

between his desire and his restraint.

 

I am coveted,

 

And I am bound.

Half close eyes, watching the darkness,

 

a faint lighter click.

I feel heat,

 

And I am ignited.

I imagine the ember of his cigarette

 

He draws in the smoke.

 

I am the cherry,

 

And I am burned.

    Sensual, sexual, seductive, passionate, desirous, an overwhelming flow of hormonic energy. Nicely stated

  • Paul Bell

    Remember, smoking can damage your health and eventually kill you.
    Sex on the hand, well, what a way to go.
