Carpet Burn

We lie
           in each other’s arms
as
     I run my fingers
through my lover’s lush locks
             of hair
In plush leisure we roll 
   with abandon
                 on the floor -
    in tune with each other’s
               bodies
rocking into the night -
          carpet burn
                            likely

Chose word #1: Carpet
41(?) words for nette onclaud's 'SOME KIND OF SENSUAL' Contest

By the way, Wordcounter says 43 words, but if I remove my 2 hyphens, it DOES say 41 then!

I love the mystery throughout your poetry. Also the carpet burn at the end is witty. Congratulations on your win Andrea :)

John's remark of being sensual free is correct. I fail to see what's sensual about carpet burns.

well, it was kind of a joke, Lin. Hunka hunka burning love and all that jazz. Getting carpet burns is said to be the sign of very passionate sex, but what would I know about it. haha

Get that first aid kit ready for that magic carpet ride! Interesting ink, Andrea. Made me think. Cheers, Gershon
