for me
flirting always involves
minds, eyes and bodies
minds to generate the loaded words
that simmer between us
eyes to make the on and off again connections
that signal attraction and possibility
bodies to suggest what might be possible
beyond this first joyful teasing and testing
Often the joy is enough
and we go no further
having shared moments
full of life and connection
Sometimes the shared intrigue
leads to a deeper exploration
of if and how
we might move
coming closer together
