A Wistful WelcomeLong, his broadened fingers sweep slowly, a grazing glissade, an audible gasp. They travel, trickle, downward against the smooth length of spine, pausing just so, at the soft supple bottom, prolonging his aching gaze, a wistful welcome. He begins, gingerly, the deliberate adoring ascent, feathered, upon fair flesh, fingers retracing words spoken before, in whispers. A frown, a sigh, as he closes the thick Thesaurus, returning it tenderly to its shelf. |

Claire, I would have ended it, "to itself." It would add to the licentious character of the poem. Very good enjoyed. |

Sunshine, serenity, Lakewalker, Maureen, thank you for reading and letting me know you enjoyed this. Seymour, your poetic acumen is far greater than my own. You would have written a masterpiece...I just threw some words together. Thank you for reading. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

I could imagine my self rushing to have a look at a thesaurus... to find all words I did not know as synonyms of any word I happen to stumble about... ... where am I? oops I am reading a magnificent poem and I am ramblinga gain... TIME TO STOP... Claire, now if I could stop my rambling and come up with a percent of a level of what you write... if only  regards, sudhir |

I've never been turned on by a thesaurus before *S*, I guess there's a first for everything...I loved this. |

Hi Claire ... i'm glad i didn't read the responses before your poem ... it would have ruined it for me ... great magic here ... my first thought was, "well now here we go ... Claire's pen has turned sensuously seductive on us" ... what a wonderful end-game you play ... My calling before me, let quill be my offering; For to be called poet, no greater gift to receive. M.A. |

Claire, " Long, his broadened fingers sweep slowly," How did you know I stroke my Thesaurus that way? *looking around with sheepish eyes* Great poem - the way you led me down the wrong path - I love that |

Mike, your words are grandly designed, my friend, and thoughtfully imparted. Thank you. Martie, I'm glad you enjoyed the smile at the end. Thanks for letting me know. Sudhir, your ramblings are quite flattering...and I thank you for them. (Ramblings, indeed...*rolling eyes*) James, thank you. I think there can be sensuality found in just about anything, if we happen to look just right. PoeticKnight, so glad it was good for you (smiling along with you) Thanks so much for reading this. M.A. Yes, I can see how you might think of this as seductive, but surely you don't think I would write that way intentionally...? As always, thank you for letting me know what you think. LngJhnAg, lets just say I took a lucky guess... Glad you enjoyed the wrong path for a bit. Parker, thank you. You're always so kind. Michael, I'm glad for your smile.
