How Hot Was It

Slowly over the hours it simmered.
intensifying as the heat deepened.

Senses now on fire in anticipation.
Skin heating up in expectation.

Blood now hot and bubbling.
Flames everywhere shooting.

Stomach growls as it is hit.
Legs give out and so I sit.

Wow that was one hot curry
Never ever good to hurry.

If you thought it something different
Would a woman really be so flagrant?

One hot curry indeed...hahaah. Well Shadow, I kind of was really anticipating for the twist. After reading your writes, I know you're one who wouldn't really follow through on the other implied hot version. Thanks for the laughs! hugs!

The words are descriptive and the humor is real...creating a feeling of mild frustration brought on by a case of fiery indigestion. Emile.
