accidental contact caused by
close proximity
resulting
automatic alliance formed
of finger twining hand embrace

clandestine maneuvers
under cover
of duvets
involving exploratory
espionage by cold toes
seeking adventure

‘under cover of duvets’, that is lovely
and warms the toes

Maneuvers. How did that happen? You sent me on a google run. We’re both right, haha.
Lovely kisses here and clandestine is such a wonderful word, like warm syrup in the mind.

Oh, such a beautiful allusion! As Gabrielle said it, Absolutely gorgeous – and very cute!
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world,
lovers exploring each other through subtle embraces
even as the petals of a rose bloom

Lovely. I usually go on a bit, but really… Lovely.

Clever, you. Delightfully fun to “hear” I read it aloud to myself in first a clipped reporter’s voice, which was just odd fun. Then I read it in a lower, slower, more sultry phone sex voice, in which the word “duvets” can be drawn out ever so long. And that was another kind of fun 😉

chuckling. I had this image flashing before my “imaginative” eyes -the sweet persona of a naughty person. and “maneuvers” is quite the right word. a l’amour comme a la guerre, quoi …

I liked it…especially the exploratory cold toes. Know that well

After a brief time away, it is very good to come back and wallow in your words. Mmmmm, poetry (drool).

Oh I just love this…especially the last two lines. Fantastic, Paul.

Paul! I couldn’t help but notice that one of your readers has fainted. You really should make sure your internet access is in tip top shape and cleared of obstructions before you go leaving such intoxicating treats in public. Samantha! Are you ok now?

those toes always seek adventure. here’s to further exploration…

*fans herself vigorously*
i am somewhat recovered, thank you Brad
probably it is just age catching up to me
probably early onset menopause was responsible for the hot flush too

i do believe the twine holds this one together gracefully

“cold toes seeking adventure” — I love it, playing footsie! 😀

I laughed until my sides ached. Very funny, you and I love the title too.
