WORDS BY SOUTHERN COMFORT

THE ATTRACTION…

I just don't know. Maybe it’s me, but it seems as if he released some type of potent and addictive drug in to the air and now I’m going through withdrawal. I need to see him again.

For an infinite amount of time, I could stand behind him, studying the way each ridge and valley of his muscles rises and falls, like waves as they raise the fabric of his shirt ever so slightly.

The gentle curve of his legs makes me weak. His walk is so smooth and effortless. I feel drunk and intoxicated just thinking about him.

I don't know what to call this.

I’m obsessed over him…

Jonesin’ over him…

Feelin’ him…

Diggin’ him…

Whatever it is, it has consumed me.

Looking at his face… I can't describe the feeling. I’m almost embarrassed. I can barely look at him without feeling this mixture of adoration and caution. I fear falling helplessly into the deep pools of his eyes, which have this way of pulling me in and drowning me in thought.

A scar rests on the right hand side of his face just underneath his full rose-colored lips, but his face is so beautifully made. His smile, so perfectly constructed. The scar only enhances the masculinity and mystery of his presence.

Sexy…

Is a word that often frequents my thoughts when thinking about him, but I don't believe that quite encompasses the complexity and intensity of whatever you call that thing, that special something he exudes. It takes the air from the room.

THE FANTASY…

It’s storming.

The thunder feels like it just shook my soul; or maybe it was him?

The blood is racing through my veins. It feels like my heart is beating to the rhythm of each raindrop. Beads of sweat roll down my spine.

Hot.

He must have struck a match and lit it underneath my skin. Breathing in his every breath as he moves his lips closer to mine…

Damn.

His skin is the color of honey dripping over moonlight, but I can't see him. My eyes are closed in anticipation. Instead, I see him with my hands. Better yet, let me discover every inch of him with my fingertips. They glide down the center of his back, appreciating and admiring every peak before sliding down every slope.

Each nerve ending in my body is standing alone, jealous of the other if one is graced by his touch for too long.

His lips feel like chocolate dipped rose petals as they move teasingly down the nape of my neck to the bend of my waist.

I can't take it. I need to feel him.

So I do…

Fin!

Have you ever been so drawn to someone that you couldn’t contain yourself? Do the words of this piece describe how you feel when you look at the person you want most? Do you ever study the features of your lover? How do you define masculinity/femininity in your partner? Have you ever undressed your partner with your eyes across a crowded room? Have you ever been with someone that could turn you on with just a touch? What did you think of Southern Comfort’s Wet Wednesdays entry?

    That was beautifully written, sad to say I've never experienced that.

  • ShoesEqualAmore

    Wow! Southern Comfort literally typed my thoughts about a certain someone who frequently occupies my mind.

  • virtue5

    i am going through the same thing right now as well...

  • capricorn

    *sigh* The crush elicits these feelings. *sigh* Especially the muscles and lips and. . . dammit.

    *gets phone out to make a lunch time appointment*

  • mya

    masculinity means his strength to make me feel like no other can do it better than he. the way he handles me the way he moves ...yes his physical must be appetizing as well. i pay very close attention to every curve...every muscle and the lips...oooo lips alone works my imagination.

  • Sistagirl

    Yeah man! That is most definately how mi a feel bout mi baby. He don't even have to touch me to send mi off. Lawd i miss him!!!

  • ~C.

    That was beautifully written...

    That's exactly how I feel about my man... I just love to trace my fingers over his body and watch my fingers glide across his skin.

  • Jessica J

    You can literally become so involved with a person that you try to mold yourself into them. Become a part of them. They become an extension of you, not just a separate being and you ache to be around them . Whooh, it's like that rapture anita baker sung about. An no on earth feeling is like it.

  • Ms. Sylaneous

    Get out my head!!! My gosh!!! I KNOW this feeling!!! Wow... I been fighting this feeling for a llloonnggg while now... I lost the fight a few times, but damn who knew defeat could be so sweet!

  • Ms. V

    Damn...

  • Anike Love

    So simple, yet so real! I have never actually experienced this, although I look forward to the day that I meet someone whose essence draws me to them like that!

    The men that I tend to be attractive to and who are most masculine to me are the ones who've got a little edge to them. Not like bustin'-a-cap type edge, but just a certain rugged quality. A masculine man to me is someone who can pick me up (literally and figuratively), who speaks his mind, isn't afraid to tell me when I'm trippin', and isn't afraid to love me the way I need and like to be loved. I would drink a man like that up all day!

  • The Mean Black Girl

    It's been said about a half dozen or so times already, but this is beautiful. The picture that is painted is absolutely wonderful. Kudos Southern Comfort, Kudos.

  • Nikki

    Have you ever been so drawn to someone that you couldn’t contain yourself?
    Yes. My guy laughs at me and says “I’m so bad” or his favorite word ”frisky” because I can’t help but want to touch him all the time. He enjoys it a lot.

    Do the words of this piece describe how you feel when you look at the person you want most?
    I am experiencing this right now with my guy. I am so addicted to him I can't even begin to explain it. I am such a fanatic.

    Do you ever study the features of your lover?
    Yes. I find myself studying the curves and lines of his face, the roundness of his lips, the brilliance of his smile and the depths of his eyes. When he reaches for my hand I can't help but notice the idiosyncrasies of his fingertips as they reach for me. I love following the ripples and ridges of his biceps and triceps even when he is simply sitting next to me or picking up a piece of paper. I love tracing the planes of his broad shoulders and feeling the strength in his hands when he holds me. I love placing my head on his chest in the stillness of the night and watching as his chest rises and falls while listening to every single heartbeat.

    How do you define masculinity/femininity in your partner?
    Even though he’s a police officer, his masculinity for me is not wrapped in his job or title but I define his masculinity, in the manner in how he treats and respects me. I measure it in the way he speaks to me. His masculinity is in treating me like a princess. His masculinity is how he carries himself as “THE MAN” and without even a verbal acknowledgement everyone who is in his presence respects him just because of the way he walks into a room.

    Have you ever undressed your partner with your eyes across a crowded room?
    Most definitely, all the time!!! I love watching him public and when I get to the point where I can’t take it anymore and have to have him to myself, we have a hand signal that no one knows about and is very discreet to let each other know – it’s time to go and race you to the car.

    Have you ever been with someone that could turn you on with just a touch?
    Yes, the guy I’m with now. He doesn’t even need to touch me to turn me on. His words, his smile and the way he looks at me, gets me every time.

    What did you think of Southern Comfort’s Wet Wednesdays entry?
    Loved It! I don’t normally post but I just had to comment on this one because I felt someone was talking a walk in my mind and writing everything I was thinking and feeling. I could not have written it any better. Well done!!!!

  • hotnbothered

    This is happnin to me right. I just melt when my man touches n kisses me all ovr. He is great! Very passionate and I'm lovin it.

  • butterflikisses

    Masculinity defined to me is a man who has his priorities in order... A man who takes care of himself and is not afraid to get a manicure. He doesn't have to be gorgeous but sexy in his own way... Enticing with his scent as well as his physique. I guess it's the country girl coming out in me but I still love a man who opens the door and pays for whatever when we're out... Don't get me wrong I can hold my own and pay my own way but it's just something so sexy about a man who wants to take care of his lady no matter what the situation.... Right now I'm doing the long distance thing but every chance we get we're on the phone or on the web cam... I don't know how long we can last this way but for right now it's exciting and when we come together it's magical. Maybe things will change if we ever get to that point when we decide to be here or there but for right now....

  • coverboy

    damn..um left speechless,this makes me miss my girl

  • simone

    It is so wonderful that so many people feel the way I do! The chemistry is amazing! Was amazing! Miss him. Hopefully one day I can experience it again. Have butterflys just thinking about it! I hope he comes back soon!

  • simone

    It is amazing when you feel this way. The chemistry is out of this world!!! When he's funny, smart, hansome, etc it makes it even better. I wish everyone can experience this kind of feeling at least once. I miss him soo much!

  • lola289

    *Have you ever been so drawn to someone that you couldn’t contain yourself?

    Yes

    *Do the words of this piece describe how you feel when you look at the person you want most?
    Yea…It reminded me of him.

    *Do you ever study the features of your lover?

    Yes. I love to look at the back of a man body. The muscles, broad shoulders, the shape…perfect.

    *How do you define masculinity in your partner?

    I really think the voice plays a strong role for me...
    I like a strong take charge kind of voice. ?

    *Have you ever undressed your partner with your eyes across a crowded room?

    Not yet! ;-)

    *Have you ever been with someone that could turn you on with just a touch?

    Yea…

    *What did you think of Southern Comfort’s Wet Wednesday’s entry?

    Great piece. I definitely was transported to my ex’s bedroom! Lol

  • litabia

    I have someone that I am emotionally attached and it's not right on any level at all. Why? Because my ex is his best friend but I knew him and he knew me before we met my ex boyfriend but at the same is that right? No. It is not. I still have a friendship with my ex and I don't want to ruin anything because if any attraction after the fact. I can live without the friend behind a supposed attraction. I wish that more people could have my mind set or more issues there would be less drama!

  • CeeCee

    yes...i'm completely drawn to this guy at work that i'm having an affair with. my boyfriend is out of town working. This guy makes my body do things no man has ever been able to do. I crave him daily. Sex at work....followed by sex at my apartment. Problem is......my boyfriend is coming back soon....damn!!

  • http://www.1intuitive1.blogspot.com Aurora

    I was addicted to a man. Yes, that's the right word. The highs were amazing - he'd just get near me and I'd get wet, I wanted him so badly and the air between us just sizzled with chemistry. The lows were horrific. I was a junkie for him, and behaved just as self-destructively.
    It isn't healthy love - it's lust, denial, fantasy and bad habits masquerading as love.

  • simone

    Aurora, I totally agree with you. It's an addiction and unhealthy at the same time. Because at the end of the day, what do you have? Nothing! I had to just walk away and go through withdrawals! I'm somewhat still living a fantasy. Thinking he's going to come back and do right by me. Yeah right!

  • g

    *sigh* yes, yes and yes! i was already thinking about him but this post just served as another reminder and increased those feelings ten fold. i can't wait to see him...

  • AGK

    Maaaan, i wanted to scream MOOOORE by the time this was over. Sheesh! *fanning myself*
    Great piece!

  • BMW2K

    Dayum . . .Oh Wow! This was so on point, that I had to comment. I am sooo glad to know I am not the only punk when it comes to how a particular man can make me feel. Even after all this time, my hubby still does this to me. . . I am such a punk for him it is pathetic. LOL

  • bogart4017

    I know the feeling quite well. Its like that old song: "When She Touches Me (Nothing Else Matters)".
    I quite enjoy watching her when she doesnt realize shes being watched. Shes got all these mannerisms that i always write under the heading "subconcious sexuality".
