Last Night Remains a Scent

Last night remains a scent Remembered at slow length – Drawn from the air, lingering about – A secret kept under my breath. The union of your soft lips Upon mine – warm and precious – Mixed with your fingertips Touching my arms were luxurious. Your flirting, like your words, stumbled – Became nervous on cue. Your eyes – brown like truffles – Were delicious to my view. Yes, above all else, your eyes Are what I remember. Let me kiss your eyes shut tonight So that they might sleep better.
