her lips tasted like passionfruit
misspanda

exquisite
 1
its just that, that thing she does
 2
her
 3
splashing ballerina-esque across acres of egyptian cotton
 4
 
 
yes, and she can only imagine it
 5
 
 
   she and he, looped and twined and oblivious
 6
   bold crazed flashings making fire of cloudsoft grey eyes,
 7
 
 
souls and insides gasping.
 8
 
 
     his lips gently, gently covering her glistening temples
 9
     counting every pale freckle
 10
     breathing her in
 11
 
 
  her eyes now, widening waterlilied pools
 12
  unwrapping every emotion
 13
  then closing softly like a storm
 14
 
 
                       he, above her
 15
                       discovers her mouth with his
 16
 
 
and her lips taste like passionfruit
 17

i have to say first, i like this much. the simulation of dance in the line breaks is lovely. the line breaks themselves are clean and sharp. but a few glitches here and there:
line 4: splashing, not spalshing
line 9: alabaster brow is over-used, perhaps something fresher?
line 12: extra space twixt now,  widening ... is it meant to be there?
line 12: waterlilied pools - i like the image, but it doesn't scan well
line 13: obviousing ... *whew* a mouthful, and not a word ... something different would be welcome

i like this poem.

 — unknown

I enjoyed this tremendously.
 — Rixes

The first four lines are breath-taking.

This is great fun to read aloud.  When I do that, I want a line break between
ballerina-esque and across.

I don't think you need "with his" in line 16.

Did you consider "of" instead of "like" in line 17?  I guess that might imply she'd been eating passionfruit, and I don't think that is your intention.

Very cool, in a very hot kind of way:-P

 — SweetPain

 — unknown

wow this is sweet, tho i agree with poppy, maybe get rid of the 'with his'
 — unknown

better than most of it's genre on here. nicely done. egyptian cotton was an example of detail, that contributes rather than detracts. like that.
 — kaleidazcope

very nice, love the way 'widening waterlilied pools' rolls of the tongue  :)
 — unknown
