There would be no Sleep Now

There would be no sleep now as he remembered a sensual exchange, not too long ago, which had taken him to a higher place.

Her words had caressed him, excited him, driven him to a desire that burned.

He now lay in bed, remembered; wanted her desire to lead him again to a place where she could write her own words to entice, to create a new experience, driven by heart and desire.

A crystal clear image slipped into his mind. There would be no sleep now

The Conversation

The Conversation

It started with a strawberry, cream and grapes.

It swayed to the beat of possibilities, subtle possibilities.

A short line here, an extended line there, a pause.

Suddenly it received a second rush of energy

with the arrival of a mango.

It developed and drifted onto a higher plane

but later the rain pushed in, the energy drained away.

Later it came, with the wave of a steady hand, to a satisfied conclusion.
