Heat Zone

HEAT ZONE As I bask in the afternoon cool of a hot summer’s day, With only my sarong loosely draped over me in a way, That will prevent the scorching African sun staring at me, And wondering how long will it be till the tantalising sea, Beckons me to strip, and feel the salty, unruly water play, Across my naked body, feeling each wave, caress and spray, My limbs with the fervour of intimacy whispering with glee, I surround you, possess you and own you, don’t ever flee!

Hello Jennifer ... heat can come in many ways, don't you think Jennifer. Thank you for another enjoyable verse - Lindsay

Hi Lindsay,It certainly can - in our driveway just outside Johannesburg it went up to 42 degrees centigrade last december, but there are many interpretations of heat, I agree! Blessings, Lindsay Jennifer.

Thanks Gordon, not my usual style of poetry but I must say, there was an urge and a challenge from within me to write a steamy, sensual poem, so I did! So glad you enjoyed. Great comment! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Heat, indeed - hot, steamy, burn you exquisetly heat. Wow, Jenny, this is something else, so titillating it is like foreplay in words, aggressive and sensual words. Did you read this one to your husband? If I'd written it, I would read it to my Tim at just the right alone moment! I must settle my pulse now and leave you hugs ... CayCay

What is better or healthier, sensuous and inviting than lying close enough for the waves to lapp on you - the sea is a balm for our bodies! Thanks for your visit and lovely comment Arturo. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
