I’m picking petals carefully
to wordless honeyed sighs
In exquisite pain you leave
striations carved
criss-cross on my arching back.
Quivering from softest touch
feather’s gently tormenting
anticipation for when
hard meets soft.
This kiss by Theodore Gericault
The challenge of writing erotica for Trifextra was something that I thought extremely challenging. But I decided to work with 33 words.

I think that you have written some really nice erotica here. It’s very effective.
I love this piece-and I knew I would love this piece. You’ve taken the prompt and infused it with your gorgeous poetic way with words. So nicely done, Bjorn.
such seductive words 🙂
Succinctly expressed. Well done.

This is the classical side of sensuality – the one that endures. Very nicely and tastefuly done.
As perfect as those carefully picked petals. Rowrr!
Sensual elegance, lovely!
Well done, Björn. This is powerful and moving and sexy. Love the last line especially…anticipation for when hard meets soft. Wow.
I agree with all the comments above. You’ve gone with the classics on this prompt and it’s beautiful and very powerful, Björn.
Simply beautiful! And love the picture you put with it.

Well, hard meets soft totally completes this gorgeous poem. I’ve come to expect nothing less than beautiful here.
