The Literal Sense of the Word

just a light verse to match today's mood.

I chose the outfit with much care
spent countless hours on face and hair
primped and preened a perfect look
the worm, you dangled on my hook

Your eyes beheld a ravished glow
imagining pleasures we'd soon know
a night of promise,  how it would unfold
on satin sheets, two lovers bold
lights on high and kinky heels
you'd soon know how my passion feels

I'm feeling rather naughty, as I've a wont to do
and judging by your leering look, the same is said for you
I lean a little closer, let my breast just graze your arm
feeling rather brazen I decide to up the charm
I huskily whisper something rather tempting in your ear
watch the lump rise in your throat as you struggle to stay clear

Your answer at first hesitant, then you finally find your voice
You dis my hair, my makeup, tear apart my wardrobe choice
you have a cutting commentary, you do not miss a thing
barbs cut me to the quick, for words they sure can sting

that hand that seconds earlier was running up your thigh
reaches out to slap your face whilst I begin to cry
you're left there looking stupid, unsure what you've said
but you know you'll be alone tonight, not warming this girl's bed

the bewildered look is priceless,Oh,you know you've displeased me
that's not what I had in mind, when I asked you to please "tease me"

Ah... To miss the cue of the music of passion. It us a thing of instinct. Off beat the ripped dress is a travesty. Yet, on the beatbwith tempo matched you can rip the dress from breast to thigh and receive a moan of pleasure. Thus is not something that can be planned or educated. It is chemistry...
May you wardrobe be blissfully destroyed! ;)

LMAO! I don't want it destroyed! Maybe just mussed up a little. ;)

Damn, I love the rhyming here! This has it all,
"emotion witt sadness and power" and I mean
that literally :)

[FJ Davis]

That isn't what "tease me" means! No wonder I've gotten my damned stupid face slapped so many times!
This is top-notch, LA--truly a fun read. And I'd be willing to bet you had more than a "lump in his throat" rising.
Thoroughly enjoyed this.

Wow! This is certainly not the direction that I saw this going. But it is really great. When you do your rhyming thing, I just love it! The rhyme and the meter is just perfect, almost like singing a song. Read it out loud and it gets even better. I really love a perfect rhyme without forcing it. You're the master!

Ummm, in my throat?
