She lounged like a snake along the chaise
her back nestled against embroided pillows
her djellaba regal hues of the earth and gold
her long brown legs rested upon each other
toenails red
sandlewood incense perfumed the air
wafting through the heavy hessian blanket
that draped across the chair
wall vessels hung, colours of the beach
holding cardamon and cloves rich in nature
mingling with the cinnamon infused lamb in the tajine
candles flickered across the ceiling, the wax dripped upon brass plates
and the music, the music, the sounds of the drum
the bendir and lute filled the space inside the walls
she waited for her lover, her senses already heightened
by the aromas….that intoxicated her
she sipped mint tea, slowly rubbing her feet together
waiting for the sun to set
waiting…..

Ooh, Jenny, that was wonderful. Intoxicating. 🙂
and I wrote it completely sober …. Thank you my dear Richard. 😊
My pleasure 🙂
I like the way you explore the waiting Jen, so nicely done along with the vivid descriptions….
I was in my own little world, thank you so much my dear friend Michael ☺️
And what a world it so often is…..and sober as well? Remarkable.
Laughing…shoosh you 😉
I was drawn right into the moment, Jen. A veritable feast for the senses. I hope he doesn’t let all that anticipation go to waste! 😉
Thank you AM. Got caught in the ‘moment’ …& from what I saw when I closed my eyes… Nothing went to waste 😉 xx
and what a sensual picture you paint with your words, jen –
Thank you sweety, trying something a little different xx
Glad you’re back!
Hello GC, thank you so much ☺️
Oh I love. Where I went with what you created..Morocco, Egypt, alone, myself, was absolutely beautiful. Those colors and scents are in my life constantly, it felt like you created something for me. How glorious my lovely.. just so good. Keep going.
xxxx
How sweet are you, thank you darling. I’m glad I took you back…perhaps somehow this was meant for you..which makes me happy and I will try ☺️ xxx❤️
Sensual, exotic and beautifully written! ❤
Thank you so much lovely ❤️😊 x
I just love it when you take me along on this ride to a beautiful world of smells and colour and textures, Jen. This is just beautiful xxx
Your comment pleases me more than you could know. Thank you Di so much ❤️ xx
I reveled in the details that set the exotic place far away from my every day world. That is what you did, Jen! You transported me to a faraway fantasy and I felt I was waiting for my special someone, lover, to arrive… ♡ ooh, so marvelous!
I’m glad I transported you sweet thing, but..come baaaaack 😊 Thank you so very much ❤️ xx
I won’t go too far but may drag that man back with me! (After he rubs my feet, etc. 🙂 ) xo
Shall do sweety 😊
Our sky was too cloudy to view the full moon and lunar eclipse tonight. I will say, “G’night, sweet dreams, Jen.”
Hope you sleep tight. 💜
You are back writing on a regular basis and I have been missing it. This was sensual. Loved.
Thank you my lovely. I’m coming back in drips and drabs, but life has been so hectic, it’s hard to find the time or the energy. Hugs to you and hope you’re doing ok ❤️ xx
