The Thrilling In-Between

"The Thrilling In-Between" Touched Soft cerebral warm breath paints dusky the warm place whispers across satin skin laces come undone on the lost floor fallen her skin runs like a river under the velvet of his beckoning windows she’s a mystery as he tastes her boundaries between the districts of stay or go Sliding hands over a new map uncovering secrets and their uncharted territories they're both deep hidden-wells he doesn’t want you to feel ill at ease she thinks where’s the thrill in that, please? genuflecting on her knees Manifesting forbidden apples is Eve legs entwined around Adam’s farewell green leaves red cherry rose lips to drink in another’s soul to taste and Touch his Soft cerebral Moving ever closer they dance the Thrilling In-Between two smiles evolve conjoined flames their largeness in life grows Burning hot their sensual world sanguine immolating cerebral soft like a river flows (LadyLabyrinth/2018) https://youtu.be/6h_WMDMvlcQ Molly Bloom's Soliloquay, Chapter 18, "Ulysses" by James Joyce https://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/j/joyce/james/j8u/episode18.html “Her veins flowed with liquid poetry. I stole the words from her mouth with my kisses.”

“The most haunting woman is the one we cannot find in the crowded café when we are looking for her, the one that we must hunt for, and seek out through the disguises of her stories.” Anaïs Nin, Delta of Venus

“When she does not find love, she may find poetry. Because she does not act, she observes, she feels, she records; a color, a smile awakens profound echoes within her; her destiny is outside her, scattered in cities already built, on the faces of men already marked by life, she makes contact, she relishes with passion and yet in a manner more detached, more free, than that of a young man. Being poorly integrated in the universe of humanity and hardly able to adapt herself therein, she, like the child, is able to see it objectively; instead of being interested solely in her grasp on things, she looks for their significance; she catches their special outlines, their unexpected metamorphoses.

She rarely feels a bold creativeness, and usually she lacks the technique of self-expression; but in her conversation, her letters, her literary essays, her sketches, she manifests an original sensitivity. The young girl throws herself into things with ardor, because she is not yet deprived of her transcendence; and the fact that she accomplishes nothing, that she is nothing, will make her impulses only the more passionate. Empty and unlimited, she seeks from within her nothingness to attain All.” Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex
