She knew he had more patience than she did
With a sigh she watched him reach for her left foot
She knew what would happen next
He gently touched her toes
He turned them from numb little lumps
into transmitters, sending pulses up her ankle
The muscles in her lower leg tightened
in a feeble attempt to fence off the tingles
that spread upward through her calf and knee
Her left thigh willingly accepted
the traveling sense of anticipation
forming goose bumps before he even came close
She knew he had more patience than she did
With a groan she watched him reach for her right foot
She knew what would happen next
His gentle fingers massaged the spaces between her toes
every inch was taken care of, touched, loved
the temperature of her foot rising steadily
Her hard shin, her soft calf, her bony knee
they exulted one after another
surrendering to his whole-souled hands
Her thigh quivering
demanding attention
shouting a wake up call through her body
She knew what would happen next
She knew he had more patience than she did
She protested when she saw him bend forward
Hands and arms next…
They say all is well that ends well… so may I suggest that you, reader, write the rest of this poem in your own mind’s eye? It can take any direction you like. It could even have a happy ending. Who knows? Try picture it in as much detail as you can. Then the story will unfold…
This poem was written on day 29 of #OctPoWriMo. I’m handing it in for day 30. Which is perfect, since the prompt for today is the day before 🙂

Unassorted stories 
I have goose-bumps all over. This is an utterly sensational poem.
Aww, thank you! I’m wondering if I ever dare to /care to write the looooong version 🙂
I would enjoy reading it!
I could even host it if you would feel more comfortable sharing somewhere else than your own blog… 🙂
It can be written as a long story ..i wonder when words on simply 2 touch could create such goose bumps what will be the outcome of the entire length…
Dayum! Almost makes me consider being stupid enough to seek out romance (translate: heartbreak) again.
Almost.
Beautiful and erotic.

very sensual, no matter the ending…it can go on for a while… HAHAHA but Im thinking I dont have the patience to write it well as it would take piece by piece, inch by inch… I think I too am less patient in my writing … but reading this was pure sensation….. well done!
Very sensual and gets anyone tingling!
What a beautiful poem! I hung on every word.
I think I let out a sigh as I read this. Beginning with a foot massage and the culmination towards the end is terrific. Very enjoyable Angela, sensual, sexy and sensational! 🙂
Proof (again) that words are al lot more sensual than pictures
This is awesome, Angela.
