Couch dancing the old fashioned way
I think I've mentioned this before but...
Remember kissing on the couch,
your parents in bed and... probably asleep?
Remember kissing on the couch in the study,
listening for footfalls on the stair?
remember kissing on the couch,
aching to do more but sure clothes on
clothes buttoned
was best?
Remember kissing side by side,
squeaky leather upholstery
meekly protesting our shifts and turns?
Remember jeans too tight
in those days
for even a fingertip to slip inside?
Remember my firmness and your heat
hinting undeliverable promises
under worn denim?
Remember hands under t-shirts,
sweatshirts, sweaters...
warm skin against warm skin
wherever fashion in its mercy accomodated?
Remember lips pulped together,
nigh until chapped?
Remember faces thawed from late-fall's frozen rain
reddened further by our own heat?
Remember my arms around your shoulders and hips?
Remember my strong arms rolling you onto me
as i rolled under you,
your legs straddling mine,
our breath warming past each other's ears?
Remember you'd shift up and over,
finding your place and then
finding your rhythm against me?
Remember how your breath teetered... tipped...
then surged, you burying your face in my neck
muffling your sighs?
The couch is gone,
the house was sold,
the even the room itself is no more,
remodeled, patio'ed, extensioned into memory
And we've had our own homes,
our own rooms,
our own beds
for ages now
But I have those fond memories
and so do you
let's renew them
Figleaf.....how sweet and lovely!! My first experiences were my most romantic and memorable and I long to relive them. Perhaps the newness and novelty combined with youthful hormones contributed to the quality of the experience. Some people might even find the element of "danger" attractive. However, I think that the important factor is that with proper sex precluded, the focus is more on kissing etc. (sigh) Very nice post!
[Another factor that makes the memory of that clothes-on grinding so vivid is the way nearly everyone I wound up doing it with could get off like a skyrocket that way. Physically it felt wonderful for me (though I couldn't come from it) and the passionate sensuality of it was almost overwhelming. Thanks, Avalon. --fl]
kissing is sadly underrated these days.....
[I think so. It seems like it's one of the first things to go when you're in a long-term relationship. It's such a great warm-up, though, even when you know you're going to wind up doing more. Thank you, Lime. --fl]
I remember....we were happier when we had nothing but each other and a squeaky couch than we are with a four bedroom house with a 2 car garage. We kept up with the Jones without realizing it was the Smiths who had it going on.
[Boing! I love that twist on the old keep-up-with-the-Jones' cliche, Boo. Thanks! --fl]
Ohhh, Figleaf, that was so sweet ! It made me nostalgic for couches and cuddling and the days when things were still innocent and uncomplicated...
Have a great Sunday !
Sincerely,
Anne Elizabeth
[Yup. It's another one of those things that can get lost in the headlong rush to get to intercourse. Not that there's anything wrong with intercourse! It's just not the only way to transport each other. Thanks, AE. --fl]
