A sugar rush of touch
as butter-
flies this rub of you,
a wetness —
cadence
skin to skin
this morning
breath to chest.
I weave my fingers
with your hair, and as
we sway as dust
in sunshine; us is one
and two is more
than less.
Today it’s Open Link at dVerse, bring any poem, link up and join the fun, hosted by me. I have brought a guest who will present himself a bit more. Bar opens at 9 PM CET.

Erotic and mesmerising, Bjorn. And it’s only 6.26 am! I’m looking forward to Open Link this evening.
Me too
As Kim says, mesmerising…..wonderful words
Thank you… 🙂 I enjoyed writing them.
Beautiful words. Erotic, sensual….truly wonderful words and so glad you wrote them. I like this very much: and as we sway as dust in sunshine;…I love these words/descriptions.
Thank you… it was fun to go back to metaphors… one of my favorite things..
Such a fiery and romantic write 😀 Beautifully penned.
🙂 some fire was needed i felt
Oh yes, this is mesmerising, Bjorn. You romantic man, you!
I think I return to being romantic every now and then… 🙂
🙂
The first thought that came to my mind was ‘Mmmm’ then I thought, outside of the beautiful eroticism this piece evokes, it also speaks, at least to me, of walks through a misty quiet morning, or along the shore with seawater spray caressing the skin. More than less, indeed Master Wordweaver! 🙂
Ha.. yes sometimes you have to violate some rules to make it fun
I love the way you open this with sugar and butter and the word “rub,” as if you two are working in the kitchen together (getting frisky at the same time). It makes it all the more romantic.
Excellent piece.
Ha.. yes rub is something that can mean so much..
It’s sexy, obviously. (Especially if I get a shoulder rub out of the deal!) But that word always makes me think of my granddaddy’s special barbecue sauce / “rub” … the recipe for which is one of my prized possessions. 🙂
Yes … the rub makes a barbecue wonderful… just like the other rub…
love the bit about “we sway as dust in the sunshine”. A very sensual piece throughout.
You hooked everyone with /we sway as dust in sunshine/–short, sensual, a sexy romp as well. This piece is yet another slightly different style for you; nice to read you, because one never knows where your words will lead, or what the poetics will look like.
I like to vary my style… but there I think there is something almost consistent still…
I particularly like the last two lines — “two is more than less.” I’m not sure what it is about it. Perhaps it is the word less, which is used for uncountable things, indicating to me love that is unmeasurable.
Wow! This is a beautiful and passionate piece. The last lines are breathtaking. ❤
I was pulled straight into this poem by the opening two lines – and the whole first stanza works very well.
The imagery is intoxicating. Lovely poem!
Sensual write…I love the cadence skin to skin ~
Quite sensual. “I weave my fingers with your hair,” 🙂
What does http://www.blenza.com says URL must begin with ':http://' mean?
Brilliantly written….beautiful!
a sugar rush of touch — love this expression.
And then thinking of the dust particles that dance in front of the sun streaming in the window and using that to describe the act of love. Stunning. You romantic, you! 🙂
This is beautiful and bordering on the scent of erotica! Lovely!
Completely intoxicating…
Bewitchingly sultry!! This is certainly a new color from your pallet 🙂
Almost like a “fairy tale!”
Simple, eloquent, gentle and beautiful, I loved this poem. I want to recite it to my husband!
us is one
and two is more
than less.
This is a special treat Bjorn! Like the twist in structure!
Hank
Beautiful, sensual swaying… I love this.
And here I am by myself after reading this …..
“A sugar rush of touch,” “We sway as dust in sunshine.” Good description–well done.
