rivulets of space

spaces. unseen spaces.
can you parade it between us-
tangible in its wake
I leave my space to smile at your a boyish charm
a flame gasps and slips in between
I let it defy with my typical thinking
a space can't question it

I put my elbow on my thigh,
go into a trance
creating bit more space

"we can let it melt later, merging it with musty rivulets of ourselves"

There's more to this than meets the eye! I suspect eroticism here... Lovely.

More to this than meets the eye - indeed! Great last line!

Like Tilly said, tangible spaces is a curious notion... makes me think of picking them up, rolling them around between fingertips. And sharing something so curious is certainly intimate and beautiful.

Subtle erotica is very sensual indeed - was it by design or accident?
