Are We Meant To Be? Only Time Will Tell...
~Sensational 2 Poetry Challenge~
The scent of his spicy cologne beckoned me to stop midstride...
His perfectly manicured beard of wool perfectly framed his handsome cinnamon-toned face...
So mesmerizing was the warmth of his aura that I barely noticed the ding of an incoming text message as we chatted...
I could still taste the remnants of my breakfast muffin as I nibbled on the inside of my cheek and blushed right as he told me that I was beautiful...
My heart nearly stopped as I hugged him goodbye...

That's the feeling of being in love for the first time, Tiffany! Well done!
An expertly crafted sensory experience Tiffany! Have we all been there? If we're lucky/honest/lived-long-enough...Yes 😁
Awww… very poetically beautiful.
⚡♥️⚡‼️‼️
Oh, these are some truly gorgeous sensations! Such a sweet and romantic moment. Also, I could taste that muffin!
He sounds like a catch, nail him down!
Just recommended this for a Top Story in this week's Raise Your Voice https://shopping-feedback.today/resources/raise-your-voice-thread-10-03-2024%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">
This is so playful and joyous. Love it.
Heartfelt and aptly worded Tiff. Ah, the ins and outs of life. Hope all is well with your soul. I am on the periphery looking on.
Kudos on L/B placement. Way 2 go.
You blew my mind with this one. Your description of his beard being as like wool, makes him sound meritorious. Wool doesn’t come by very often, even though it may seem abundant. This poem is as spicy as his cologne, it brings us the vibe to clutch the men we have, and maybe bring him upstairs for an hour or two.
Congratulations for placing as an Honorable Mention on this week's leaderboard for Most Discussed Stories with this amazing piece. Well done.
Oh to be young again! Really mesmerising sensational poetry
Flirty, indeed, and a brilliant exploration of the senses.
Oh, I loved how flirty this was!! It made me blush a little and smile. Loved this!!
The thrill of romance, beautiful poem.
Wow!! Great poetry!😊💕💗
Great poem. Loved this moment At the end I was like no don’t let him go
A great example of those moments we all long for. 👏👏👏 This felt seamless in its creation. Well done, Tiffa!
Ah, the all-too-welcome type of jitters! Well-wrought!
Lovely set of lines
Such a gorgeous depiction of romance and longing!
Tiffany I can just tell your type of man in this poem. I wish you turn this into a story. I love a good romance
i think the word wool, in combination with "mid-stride" made me think for a minute you had met a sheep, despite the cologne.
