In the Silence

Breaking through her reserve She undresses the longing in her eyes A promise of surrender She is aware her message has been received By the knowing smile on his lips His eyes already claiming her Disrobing her Caressing her Suddenly shy, she lowers her dark lashes Trying to find safe ground again But it’s too late He knows…he KNOWS He leans in to her to whisper in her hair To clothe his desire in words But momentarily is arrested By the sensual scent that envelopes her, enflaming him Surprised by the silence, her head turns towards him A unplanned meeting of lips Inhibitions and questions….lost in soft exhange Words never spoken Yet passion’s eloquence clearly heard In the silence Eileen Manassian Ghali For Nette's Sensual Contest: TOO LATE!!! Can't find it! :( August 29, 2013

"Unplanned meeting of lips", those are the most exciting moments. A test of how good your heart rate is, when under all that anxious pressure. =D Massively sensual piece!
