Breathe II

By jack paper

she moves imperceptibly
a whisper in the wind

senses tingle
with each silent step

moving ever closer

danger burns...
weaves like the flames
erupting from this fire
spitting tension on
flickering shadows

edging ever nearer

fueled by her musk
anticipation binds
sharpened apprehension
ties my soul in knots

my obsession

so near..


sinews taught
teeth clenched
fingers twitch
heartbeat harder
i will possess!

wait...
listen!

i
can
almost
hear
her....breathe

    this was like an inhale of the steam that rises off hot sake... dusky sweet with a lingering catch that just teases the senses with want.... breath catching for sure...

    The ending is polished with perfection. So beautiful each word, feeling, emotion. Twisting and turning inside me. Outstanding.

    My favorite part is 'I will possess' sexually charged. Lovely.
