Proverbial Smoking In Bed

the unzipped match — a flame that heats the tips of fingers, those sensitive appendages that linger, upon the cheek, the whiskers. erogenous zones touched by the flame, like candles arouse compatible birthday suits. the cherry red matchstick plumps up her lips making them magnetic. his lips and ruby tongue pulled into the black hole of her being. their own haven of forest in flames — no longer tame. the full force of desire moves over her neck her shoulders, lower and lower, leaping higher and higher. flesh singed — in the end both become smokers in bed. 9/25/2019

Kim, this is one of your best poems, sensual but tactful imagery, the poem increasing with intensity as it headed for its heated end! Bravo! Thanks for reading "Looks mean many things." Brahms as a young man was called Germany's "golden boy." As he aged he followed the tradition, then almost de rigeure, to grow a beard. He's one of my favorite composers. Again, many thanks. / M

I read Chris's comment and I want to say "ditto". Just the right amount of sizzle.

Reminds me of an old joke. "Do you smoke after sex?" "I don't know, I never looked." : ) Seriously though Kim, this was fantastic. Just the right amount of heat in this to create the scene for the reader without going full on sexual inferno.
