To and fro we danced. Sensual twirls, abrupt dives. It was easy at first. The ground was arid like a desert, my toes dry. With each lock of our gazes, I found myself closer to him. My eyes lost their flirtatious flutter, I tugged to free myself. While his firm was gentle, a strength that intimidated me lay quietly beneath the surface. I despised him. The two of us could never work. From the frantic and energetic moves we started from, we had surrendered to rhythmic swaying. The tension dissipated as waves of chemistry swirled around us. His body molded around mine. We were alone in an ocean of intimacy; wet fingers touching, moist tongues. I felt safe. My leg encircled him, ripples of pleasure ran up my thighs. They often say love and lust are enemies, but why not lovers?

Hi There. Here is mine for this week. I decided to go a little more blue than usual. I hope you like the change of pace.
Enjoy
Joe
I loved this experiment. I thought it was executed beautifully. Sensual, but as Anne said, tasteful. A real conflict of emotions for Jenny. Thanks for contributing this week to Picture it & write!
Here is my small contribution… some amazing submissions from everybody!

I don’t know if I’m doing this right or not, but I’m posting it anyways. 🙂
“Dancer in the room, she’s in the zone.
Until he finds her in the darkness.
He takes her inside the light.
They crash into the bitterness of their troulbled lives.
Souls, reaching out onto our fingers.
Emotions, coming out onto our faces.
She’s practiced this for days, but nothing prepared her for this.
Nobody said you could fall in love.
For once she let herself go.
Let life consume them.
In the darkness, she found the light.”
I really like this ending line. I always said darkness was the best place to find light.
Ooo, ‘let life consume them.’ What a powerful statement. I love it! ‘They crash into the bitterness of their troubled lives’ Another great line. Fantastic choice of words. Thanks for contributing this week, gotmeghan!
Thank you ladies 🙂 I literally came up with it on the spot. Lol
I loved the end ! quite hopeful and leaves you smiling 🙂
Fantastic, short, well chosen words & worlds covered! well done.
This is great. Ermi! That comment MD made a while back about lust kind of hung with you didn’t it? I love the way you paired love and lust together with this image, with the sensual picture and the shadowy reflection. I like the dancing too. Synchronized swimming was one of my impressions.
Here’s Whisperer.
Yeah, that line from M.D.’s piece stuck with me. Haha, I’m suprised you remembered. 😛 You’re very observant. I just like advocating that love and lust can (and should) be lovers. What saddens me is that many people seem to think that in romantic relationships you can only have one or the other (most commonly a lack of lust in long-term relationships).
Bahahahha, Jessi! I loved this description ‘The iceberg begged to be melted in the heat of his kisses and the tips hurt with the desire.’ So very sexy this piece. Thanks for contributing this week to Picture it & write, Annie! 🙂 I always love reading about Jessi and Flower’s adventures. 🙂
wow. mesmerized by your words…. so much passion and such a familiar predicament ^^ and that photo reminds me much of Narcissus…fantastic.
Thanks, Kz! Narcissus the flower?
As in Greek Mythology Narcissus 🙂
I just Wikipedia-ed Narcissus and educated myself. 😛 I can see why it would remind you of him. That’d be a cool story idea to run with.
indeed 🙂 thanks for the photo

Intense. Great storytelling skills. You pulled us along to the very end. Why anyone would want to be in such a relationship is beyond me. 😛 You brewed a great tale full of strong, conflicting themes. Thanks for contributing this week to Picture it & write, Kz! 🙂
Pingback: Join me « MY THOUGHTS ON THE SUBJECT ARE AS FOLLOWS
http://mythoughtsonthesubjectareasfollows.wordpress.com/2013/01/27/join-me/ Here’s mine!
Wow. Fantastic! I love the triple line of ‘Embrace me/Stroke me/Taste me’. So very sexy. Thanks for contributing this week with this tantalizing piece. 🙂
Lovely interweaving of words there….with more than one layer, movement, and message. Reads like piano music to me, with fingers on keys…thanks!
Thanks, yerpirate. 🙂 I tried to layer the paragraph with allusions to water, dancing, and the “conflict” between lust and love. 😀 Can’t wait to read your piece!
Another Haiku!
Two Lovers caress
Searching the depths of passion
Seeking to drown there
drowned in lust below
their dark reflections wrestle
gasping to breathe there
Ooo, the two haikus flow so well. I love ‘searching the depths of passion/seeking to drown there’ along with ‘their dark reflections wrestle’. Beautiful lines! You guys should write alongside more often. 😉
I have had similar thoughts myself!
What do you think Anne? Poetry off?
I don’t know… I am like the only person on Earth who ever got an F on a haiku. I just thought it would be cute to write the lust as a reflection of the love, you know because there was a reflection in the picture and because what you said about love and lust…
So What I got a D3, barely passed, in English for my junior Cert. And I still am getting the hang of this writing lark. It would be fun!
Hm..yes..should have done a haiku..http://managuagunntoday.wordpress.com/2013/01/27/picture-it-write-letter-from-the-desert/
Wow. The details were so beautiful. I adore how the detail revolved around how he would seduce her, to bring her beside him. It was even sweeter when the contrast was made about the attack with bombs. From one stunning, warm, and sensual fantasy to the realisation of what he went through. Loved this description to bits – ‘let me pour warm sand onto your belly, then blow it all off, and pour cardamon coffee for you, watch you taste, as the wolf moon rises, and then just lie back and dream.’ Great storytelling! Thanks for contributing to Picture it & write. 🙂
Good read…I love it!
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
Hi Ermilia, here is my work for this week
I am also curious about the “uncontrollable force” you wrote about. I loved the action you wove into the story at the end. I was a little dissapointed that the poem ended so abruptly. You had me hanging on to the story and what was to happen! 😛 Thanks for contributing this week. 🙂

Amazing imagery you’ve created with your words. And love that last line.
Here’s mine.. http://randomuzings.wordpress.com/2013/01/27/picture-it-write-6/
So much to love. The flicking off of water from her chest. The water pouring. All so delightfully sexy. A great little tale! I wonder what they have to talk about! Thanks for contributing this week to Picture it & write, MuZer. 🙂
Fantastic use of metaphors, loved the allusions to dancing. Well done!
Thank you, Oscar! I tried to weave those allusions in the best I could.
Here’s my contribution 😀

Oh. 😦 How depressing. The love in the words you shared made it even more bittersweet. As Joe mentioned, how she was still beautiful in death, how he could still feel her warmth as it slipped away. Those little details that show how much he loved her. Fantastic storytelling, Daniel. Lovely to read another one of your great contributions to Picture it & write. 🙂
Pingback: A Clown in the Room | Mind of Shoo
Here is my story for the week. Such a beautiful picture.
A lovely, bittersweet story, Mind of Shoo. Thanks for contributing this week to Picture it & write! Many forget the devastating effect of Alzheimer’s. It’s one of the diseases I fear the most for myself and for those around me. The thought that they forget all the memories, the relationships, that which made them special, is so very depressing. Almost unbearable. A great story!
Okay…finally got down to it 🙂 Here is my submission, entitled “Dreaming:” http://starvingactivist.wordpress.com/2013/01/28/picture-it-write-27-january-2013-dreaming/
The final sentences were perfection. ‘The blanket shifted, letting in the light of Saturday morning. Danny, along with her joy, were gone.’ I love it! The light breaks my sweetest of dreams as well in the morning. Thanks for contributing this week with a well-written story of unrequited love.

Interesting picture I saw today:

My contribution for this week:
Stil liggend in water
Hopend op een rustige dag
Samen eenzaam zijn.
(Dutch haiku)
Quietely laying in the water
Hoping for a quiet day
Being alone together.
Very random picture, Otheus. A sweet little haiku. Wishing for a quiet day with a special someone is something we can all relate to. Great work!
Phew ! finally I did it :

I love that vision of multiple “we”, a room full of mirrors. Such stunning imagery. Fantastic! Thanks for contributing this week to Picture it & write! 🙂
Pingback: Picture it and write – Diving | The poet's hide
Here’s mine for this week! Flash fiction for a change.
http://poeticalpoet.wordpress.com/2013/01/29/picture-it-and-write-diving/
I love how the words just roll off one an other at the end. Fantastic structure. The listing of words, of his promises, reminded me of the rhythm of his heart – ‘He made her a promise then and there – to protect her, to love her, to catch her, to carry her – and as he did, her heart began beating again, strong, powerful, and in perfect sync with his own.’ Great work! Thanks for contributing this week. 🙂
Pingback: _Picture It and Write It-Nectar | Rendezvous With Renee
Hi there,
It’s my first time, so be gentle. It’s erotic. 🙂
http://rendezvouswithrenee.com/2013/01/29/_picture-it-and-write-it-nectar/
(Gentle as always, unless requested otherwise 😉 )
The tingles you have made me feel! I should’ve known with the image I chose for this week that there’d be erotica. I didn’t realise it would be this powerful. Great allusions to flowers with the references to petals, nectar, rather than being boring and stating simply ‘her flower’. You used the comparison much more creatively. The opening sentence grabbed me and your story didn’t release me until the end ‘the valley of her sex’. So very sexy. I hope to read more of your work, Renee! Thanks for contributing this week to Picture it & write. 🙂
Honey, your words humble me. Can you believe I didn’t even think about the words nectar and petals when I wrote them. It kinda flowed out of me. And her too. 🙂
I’m glad you could feel it. I could too. I want it to be sexy, sensual and dirty. I do not want it to be raunchy or schmaltzy. I want my words to celebrate the act of sex. I certainly hope that’s what you took from it.
I can’t wait to write more stories to your photos.
Love, Renee
Pingback: Love Changes People… | An Evil Nymph's Blog
My contribution 🙂 some reflections on falling in love… http://evilnymphstuff.wordpress.com/2013/02/01/love-changes-people/
I love how you show the constant struggle of pros and cons of love. I think love is fantastic but it’d be incredibly naive to say that love is all good. The more you love, the more extreme the negative emotions can become such as sadness, jealously, anger. Everything must be kept in check and the good things emphasised. Great writing, thought-provoking once more! Thanks for contributing this week, M.D.! 🙂
Reblogged this on awritersfountain and commented:
I’m going to respond, would be great if you joined in too, leave your comments & links
Saw this image when it was posted, decided to freewrite a poem in response. great image.
Loved this part of the poem – ‘as the dancers caress their reflection/
and the audience watch in awe.’ Caressing their reflection. What a beautiful image! Thanks for contributing this week to Picture it & write, Neenslewy. 🙂 I hope to see you next week!
I’m a little late but here’s my piece: http://shashimoore.wordpress.com/2013/02/04/true-reflections/
While reading it, I could hear my inner voice trying to put a melody to the words. Great work, Shashi! I also liked splitting the poem with ‘Him’ and ‘Her’, before finishing with the green lettering signifying their union. Lovely choices! Thanks for contributing this week. 🙂
