European manners,
cultivated in the East
where everything wears some disguise,
so young
and yet so wise,
flawless
glowing skin
the startling depth of hazel eyes,
scent of a woman heated by the sun,
suggests perhaps by thoughts of sin;
briefly,
just for fun,
you let four decades melt away from me
with one slight body shift
one sideways glance,
a gift of sensuality;
the smallest smile
lit by speaking dance of tongue
upon your lips
soft accent drawn and languid,
all controlled
to say just the lightest hint
of sex and opportunity
may linger in the mind,
yet both of us accept unspoken rules;
no chance this is reality
but you play this symphony with kindness,
you gave a gift that day
of feelings long forgotten.

Touching, a moment can be. You bring the feeling clearly, until if feels like I am there.

Age isn't a factor unless they are too young..trust me on this one.

We are all susceptible, aren't we? Ratleader, dingus, now the noble icebox.... it don't get no better'n that!

Well, not unless there's true luck or Southern Comfort in the equation....
