petite words

-How many kisses will it take from me, here to you, there? I asked him as I lay in white embroidered muslin watching his bare feet keeping time on the wooden tiles. He cocked his head slightly and smiled. – Why do u want to waste your kisses covering the distance? Why indeed? -Maybe because I want to tempt you and then perhaps, the distance once covered with kisses, might seem at least, sweeter. The petite ivory flowers on the muslin moved between my fingers.

Hmmmmm.... Gotta admit tho, distance is a relationship killer! But no doubts, this is where true love comes into play... If u really love someone, a million miles can look like a few feet away :)))) Its all how we understand each other!
"How many kisses will it take from me, here to you, there" -> which means, the more the distance, more the kisses :) So for a change, the farther the loved one is, the better :)))

seductive

...and kisses that cover the distance make the distance so much shorter...

Khakra said...

Erotica as a form of literature doesn't get much respect, but this surely raises the bar!

It’s allured in distant sensuality
Enticing the heart to taste of love persuasion
I was swept away with the magical moment

A hint of obsession, cleverly done

mermaid said...

The image of kisses as the petals of flowers connecting the distance, connecting the soft touch of two pairs of lips, or one lip and one hand, etc. The imagery is perfect.

It's my first time here and I can't believe I've missing all this fun ;)
Sensual, romantic and teasing. Nice.
Very nice :)

Patry Francis said...

I'm wondering if you are in love. Your blog has been so full of magic and sensuality lately.

small squirrel said...

this is beautifully crafted. if only the kisses could cover the distance (she says, staring out the window cursing distances...)

slim whale said...

erotica fires up my body; this post gave my brain a boner.

and i can't decide which is better.

Mridula said...

Lovely post Gulnaz. You evoke a rich imagery.

But there is magic sometimes even without white flowers and muslin, magic that is in everyday existence. What say you?

I'm with others here. You save until the last language both beautiful in its simplicity and charged with emotional subcurrents. Wonderful!

stella said...

oh gulnaz! that was such a sensual treat touched with delightful kisses.

incredible!

Dale said...

I don't know, this is indeed lovely and sensual, but it struck me as sad -- I thnk Pallavi caught the same backspin that I did -- a sense that the distance is really increasing and the kisses may never get there.

So I'll be so bold as to say that I think love is for you. Even if it's not showing up with a flourish at the front door just now.

Russell Ragsdale said...

Romantic sensuality is a palpable presence throught this piece. Loved it!
