Edging

My fingertips
trail sensually over
warm wet flesh

When I slide
my fingers
against the raging
inferno between
my thighs

I edge ......

Every nerve
ablaze with
desperate
clawing
need

And still
Ill edge

Till you're
once again
inside me

Beautifully done...sexual, overt, but not passed the point of being uncomfortable. Rather, this is quite beautiful. The longing is what I love the most here...the painful waiting until the person you want to be with is once again with you; and two become one.

beautiful, a sensual aftertaste!

[Eddie Phillips]

Alluring and creative. It evokes a sensuality and yet has tenderness and desire for the person you long to be with.

[Kristin Lee]

Very sensual and provocative but not to the point of being overboard or uncomfortable. While the sexual tention is what is in your face, so to speak, it's the underlying longing that most beautifully illustrated. Well done.

I really love this. It's sensual, erotic and overall sexy. I don't like erotic poetry that's just blatant and simply describes sex as a raw, physical thing. You have managed to very successfully put emotion into your poem and I simply love the longing and plain love in this. Really an excellent job, Samantha, I've enjoyed reading this very much! :)

Very beautiful, tempting and sensual, but not over the edge. Lucky Steve. :)>

Awwwwww, this is beautiful and sweet. It has a lot of emotion and thought to it. Nicely done!

Ah I love the way that you only "edge" when you really want something much more. Your imagery is very sensual and spot on as always. I think that the word "Till" Should be turned into a full "Until" Just for the flow of that last line.
Overall great job, beautiful sexy work. Haha :) I can really feel the urging and want that you feel and the teasing that you do to yourself because you really want him not your fingers. Great job :)
