Flirting, Just Right

Flirtatious teasing
is an art form
of approaching
the brink
of release,
not simply
walking right up
to the tip
and biting it off,
but rather
contemplating
in a measured way
the sensitive nature
of being
in close proximity,
of delicately relating
on a thousand different levels,
lip and fingertip,
moisture and mouth,
indication and intention,
with tintinnabulations
of cilia trembling
barely touching
emotional ploys
that ever so indirectly
hover ever so tauntingly
about and above
the arena
of sensation
until at last
unable to suffer
the unindulgable,
the breakdown
cascades into
an avalanche
of response
and onward
longing
for lust
and satisfaction.
