Don'T Look Away

The sizzling heat between us
Like lightening on a summer day,
Or sudden exploding wind gusts
Sweeping our bodies astray,
Speaking what our mouths won’t say
I can see it there in your eyes
Flaming, before you look away,
And pretend I’m one of the guys

Received 9th place in "hutain this one" contest

Awesome, passionate hutain, Susan. It's been a long time for me, but you brought the "sizzling heat" back for me. Had to chuckle at the last two lines. Wishing you success in the contest. And thanks for your comments about spraying mace in the possessive man's face. Had fun writing that one. Love, carolyn
