 “Tuesday Night”

By Amanda Sinapiades

 

 

Desciption of Submission: I always start with a catch line -- this poem was built around "I'm not there yet…" -- I had just come from moving out of my girlfriend's house and rather than being mad or angry, I began remembering everything that was good that we had. 'Tuesday Night' was the result.

 

 

 

Her whisper breaks the heavy air…

            I’m not there yet…”

Patience.

            Friction.

                        Heat.

                                  Explosion.

                                                Bliss.

Tell-tale excitement

already soaking my inner thighs

and everything inside me is trembling in anticipation

for the tip of the tongue

that I made her scream dry

She offers to clean the mess she made

with a smile

and sex on her breath

and I eagerly accept,

instantly feeling fingertips

dance across the bare skin of my lower stomach

trailing down…

                        further

                                             faster

stopping

                        waiting

                                             teasing

she wants to be begged

so I bite her ear

and whisper

                   ever

                        so

                             slowly

       “Fuck me, babygirl…”

and she does

with those eyes that make me arch my back

and claw hers

I’m on top of the world

or rather

my world’s on top of me---

spinning so fast

I’m breathing breathless---

shaking

            screaming

                             st-t-tuttering

and coming HARD

It’s another Tuesday night.
