Make me quiver (intensely)
from head to toe (currents flow)
look my way (with love)
Make me smile (continuously)
from side to side (currents flow)
speak that way (with need)
Make me growl (lustily)
(from a hush to a shout (currents flow)
want to play (with a fuck)
Make me melt (intimately)
into you (currents flow)
with me you stay (with forever in mind)

Very creative. Well done.
I loved the flow in this poem! Keep up the great work Paul! 😊❤️
I'm assuming you were thinking of Ruth as you wrote this. Are things possibly going to heat up tonight (or have they already, lol)?
This is a very different tone to the one I read this morning! Balance!
Nice! 👏 I enjoy this structure too! 😺
Whoaaaa!!!! You're a genius for writing this and Shirley's a genius for figuring it out! You blew my mind so hard, it went to Antarctica!
So, Paul, I read your poem, line by line first and then I read only the words in parentheses...got a poem within a poem, and THEN, read the poem without reading the lines in parenthesis, Three poems in one!!! WoW! Is this a new art form? Amazing
This was interesting, I do not hide the fact I am no poet so when I read this I kept thinking I like the format and style.
I like this style!
🖤
Saucy. Like it especially the use of parentheses. Adds more, like a poetic aside.
