That Delicious Something

It started off simple enough - a peck on the cheek.
(nothing tantalizing by any means)
But then she did that delicious something

... that made my whole body weak.

And before any could protest,
with their carefully organized rebuttals,
all Common Sense ran for the hills,

but I was already at the peak
with knees still eager for the bend,
and eyes on high alert
for her nature's next flirt.

A well-made umbrella (just in case)
when my Curvaceous Cinderella cascades
with her rain of buttons

(Mr. Frankie S. never would have guessed
this kind of monsoon)

... and everything just begins to bloom
in vibrant color.
When she does that delicious something
it is like none other.

And my inner being just melts;
an ice cream cone
on a summer sidewalk      sugar streams
trailing wherever they may,
as ants find their natural attraction,
a similar thing takes place
with an altogether different kind of animal.
And I'm absolutely gung-ho
to wherever it may go.
When she does that special something,
and the Seraphim of old begin to sing,
it's like a gaggle of goosebumps flooding the surface area
honking their satisfaction;
saliva-esque rivers to nourish a barren wasteland.
Life has sprung deliciously anew
in my surprising thoughts of you.

She takes me by the hand
to the precipice of my prudishness
as a light evening breeze (her whispering tease)
upsets my balance -
and victory over vertigo - I jump

into everything
into nothing

When she does
that delicious something.

Thanks for the tasty comment, Jan. Hope I don't spoil the mood if I tell you that it's fictional (imagination gets the best of us)...

First time I've read something this romantic (and eroctic) from you, Timmy! Love some of the similes and metaphors you use. I've written something of one of my very first experiences with love but it's tame (maybe moribund) compared to yours. Don't explode in flames by it. / M

It was a bit out of my comfort zone, to tell you the truth. I was attempting to expand my horizons. It might surprise some of the people here, but this is just a work of fiction --- maybe my imagination just gets the best of me. Happy you enjoyed nonetheless.

Are you still floating there, Timothy? What a delightful poem that makes me want to roll back the years and experience youth's gushing rush of fresh love once again! #7 Regards // paul

Floating might be a good word to describe ... haha. How else does one get to the moon and back? I believe it's about mindset mostly ... only old as you feel, as they say. Appreciate the 7, Paul.

"And I'm absolutely gung-ho to wherever it may go." I like that! Loving this poem, Timothy. Love the icecream cone bit as well.."ugar streams trailing wherever they may, as ants find their natural attraction" Awesome lines. Yes, leave that "delicious something" to our imaginations, while trying to describe the natural inner feelings. It's seriously a treat reading your work. Always, Laura

It's seriously a treat reading your lovely comments, Laura :) The inner feelings, I felt, were more important to describe, as in the end that's what will stick with you most.
