Between Floors

me in my white, button down dress shirt and silk, chromatic tie

you with your towering, high heels and tight, hiked-up skirt

a good job is never done

how come there's never a paper clip around when you need one

i never really knew what elevator, stop buttons were for

until that unforgettable, torrid day when we went through 'the smith file'

behind a pair of tarnished, steel doors

between the second and third floors

A seductive and romantic poem penned in such an innocent manner. Leaves much to the imagination as it should! Nicely done!

[Pete]

lol. it's the innocent ones you have to watch out for!
thanks temp ... :)

[Temperance]

Haha! That’s what my mom told me. 😂😂

Oh my!! This made me think of that elevator scene in "Fatal Attraction". Damn, I love the passion you exude here...ever so methodically!

[Pete]

after having seen it suggested many times in movies and on tv, i sometimes think of it when i'm in an elevator (which i rarely am). i was in the john hancock tower in boston once for a job interview (100 floors - now that was one long elevator ride!) ... :)

I've always feared getting stuck in one by myself. Not a big fan of speed or heights.

Oo la la la This little poem doesn’t leave much to the imagination Pete. Straight out of a movie and red hot:) Torrid is a good word to describe what took place
:)

[Pete]

lol. thanks chris. you know what they say - those who can't do write about it. again, i wasn't too sure when i did this - thought it might offensive to some ... :)

[Julie McCarthy (juliesp..]

Yes I can imagine stopping between floors
I’ve seen it in movies never in a poem though loved it you described the urgent private file perfectly very confidential

[Pete]

thanks julie. perhaps some things are better left to the imagination. yes, a frequent happening in movies and tv shows. what happens between two consenting adults is their 'business' but questionable in an office conducting a different kind of business. perhaps it heightens the experience depending on which floor. i guess that what dreams and fantasies are for lol ... :)
