I am taking a guess...an awesome passionate kiss? Electric is such a wonderful word to describe the tingles. Brava!

Nope! Just those fleeting, intense hints in public when someone looks at you and through their inadvertent responsive cues, you know they admire you. It's electrifying regardless of how hard you try to repress your reaction.
It's gone as quickly as it happened.

Very clever use of repetition at the end, AtoMikOne! And the form is perfect for a fall!
I know that look!

This one really is sweet...
A kiss is all they need to feel electrically charged I'm an erotic kind of way...
BTW the form of the poem itself literally almost makes an hour glass figure Lol
Sexy
Great write!

Nope! Not even a kiss here :) But that's similar and electric as well!
Thank you, I noticed that as well after it was posted, it wasn't intentional 😅

I feel like i got hit with the crash cart defibrillator.
electric static fizz heartbeats were the paddles
pitch black onyx pupils were the ball bearings in the shiny red pull out drawers.
great write.

Such appreciation and value of what many could consider trivial moments. I absolutely adore the way you describe that moment. That's the real beauty of the mind, valuing those fleeting moments as if nothing else truly matters at that time. Beautiful ink!

The kind of erotica I prefer, not the usual fare of expletives and filth (lol) subtle but full of passion :-)
Big Huge Like :-)))))))

Nah, I get that. You write subtlety well too :) I appreciate it man, thank you!
