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.
