cut through

photography by ilya rashap

invisible fence posts define our boundaries

my lips quiver as i tread precariously near the precipice

your arm brushes mine

i see your eyes check my reaction

my thoughts weave through yours

my fingers yearn to touch you right

there

my tongue traces the silvered mouth of the soda can

knowing only you will quench my thirst

boundaries be damned

i cut through the fence

Now isn't this an erotic piece! Phew!!

And here my first impression was that you were writing about a sugar lust!
This is a very alluring piece of writing. Hidden thoughts, careful side glances, sensual urges to take the leap....ideas and feelings that anyone with a secret admiration for someone could relate to completely. And the devouring of the soda just illuminates the idea.

I don't think i can look at a can of coke the same way again! :)
Very well written!

I could have highlighted the entire poem and posted it here! Love knows no boundaries, especially when it sizzles like this!

When we acknowledge the fence post, even the barbed wire that is in place and accept the reality that there are those times when he fence has to come down to a "free range" of emotions to prevail. "Me thinks" this fence has to be one that borders on a "hot zone"...of passion.
That soda can must have been shook up to release all that fizz.......LOL I imagine that fence won't be repaired anytime soon!
Great read; seductively entertaining with an appropriate presentation including muted shading and black and white image.........love it!!

[Lydia Shutter]

Always happy to see reviews from you, Sheila. Love your line about the soda can! :) Thanks for the review. Lydi**

Wow Lydi! This was quite a hot and saucy dish you placed in front of me :)

No fence should stand in the way of these feelings at all.

Loved this. Nice to read you again Lydi....i hope you've been well?
