Silk Stockings and Bow-ties (Going Down?)

A collaboration of MsJewel and Trace see follow up poem called: Human Desires...

It’s a silk stockings sort of evening…

 

My hair in perfectly tousled curls swept up to reveal

the pearls he gave me on our first anniversary

Shimmering softly against my neck

Catching the light…catching his eye

Teasing a smile

Loosening the tension

and his bowtie

 

(where did I put those black gloves…)

 

Still...it’s a silk stockings sort of evening

Her evening to shine
The invitation simply said:
Meet me at the place we first met
and wear your tux

Yes it was a special night
I knew it the moment I saw her cross the room
to the elevator
as she looked over a bare shoulder and smiled
That dam bow tie got just a little tighter 
as memories of that elevator flash back

 

Going down??

 

Yes…it’s a silk stockings sort of evening

For the reader, this one is just magical. You always seem to pare your poetry with great visuals, Trace, and this one is really stunning. I'll be checking out more of Ms Jewel's stuff too after reading this. What a fabulous collaboration!

I've learned not to make assumptions about others. People thought I had a thing going on too which was so far from the truth. :)

Mmmmmmm...you two are so seductive with this one! Silk stockings and tuxedos that will undoubtedly be on the floor quite soon. Deliciously sensual. Lydi**
