Standing before you I feel my skin cells explode
Your beauty mesmerises me,
Momentarily I am lost for words.
It was your smile that
Enraptured me enfolded my heart.
Scorned in the past,
Humiliation a plenty,
Wanting to reach out
Yet fear urged retreat.
Unsure of your response
I reach for your hand
Tentatively
Fingers whispering against control.
Our eyes, transfixed.
I read your desire,
To lay with me,
To feel your heart against my breast.
My hand entwined in yours
The beat of two becoming one.
I smile as we hug
Fears subsiding.
Your embrace sates
Quells my shivering
I am calmed, resting on your shoulder
We lay together gratified,
Trust built again
Laying to rest refutation.
G&T Writing is a writing exercise to try and create story/poem using half sentences and building on each others half sentence.
For example G wrote the first half sentence, T completed it and wrote the next half…and so on and so forth….
Understandably a fair bit of editing had to occur to arrive at the above. But where possible each other’s intention has been preserved.

I am not sure what G&T writing is fully but it seems good. I guess what stood out to me is the line “To feel your heart against my breast” because in my head it is coming from you (a man) so most would say chest…not breast.
Thanks Anja that’s an interesting observation, maybe that was my female muse. She does get out every so often.
hmmm that’s interesting
Cool outcome for the exercise!! 🙂 🙂
Thanks Helen, it was fun. Enjoy your day.
I’ve never heard of this kind of writing. Interesting. It came out well though. 🙂
An afternoon where one was bored so I started this and we ended up here.
How are our cats coming along?
I’m still in thinking mode as I had some early appointments this morning and just got online a bit ago. But soon I shall have my bit done. 🙂
Great. Look forward to reading Jackie.
Two people writing the same poem? K-razy idea. Worked well in this case though 🙂
It’s not easy in that you both have to consider the others take each sentence and try and complement each other. That’s why the editing at the end has to be mutually agreed on. It was a fun activity though.
Ok – I am sidetracked here. Who are G & T?
Anywho – I do like this. 🙂
I am the G. That help?
Ooohh — G is the 1st person & T is the 2nd…
Can I blame my slowness on Monday?
No not quiet, it’s a combination of both.
We combined the lines like I outlined below then I edited it to make it look like it is.
It’s a bit like a conversation but it’s not necessarily G or T who is saying the lines, it’s the combined effort rather than distinct lines being written by one or the other…
And – the third time is a charm. 🙂
Thanks for your patience.
Nice and fun exercise.
Thanks Kim it was we will try again soon, maybe a different style this time.
Keep the talent fresh.
Well as fresh as us old boilers can get, though T won’t like that comment…lol
