Minty Shivers

Your kiss, a taste
of cool peppermint
as our tongues entwine.
 
Striped swirls, a body
wave from head to toe,
vibration strong enough
 
to rattle a coffee cup
to the table's edge,
its shatter a shiver
of minty ecstasy.

Hi Laura ~~

Intriguing suggestive verse
shivers quiver through my bod.

I need a cool tasting kiss
striped swirl make your debut.

Would love those mints on my tongue
try to shake tables tonight?

Laurie, this is alive with sensuality. Nothing like rolling a mint from your mouth to that of your lover, either! Loved the cup rattling... you little minx! Peace, Amy
