Lavender

I love the smell of lavender,

   The scent carried by the steam after a shower

       Fills the room.

The scent of lavender on your skin

  Fresh from the shower.

I bury my nose in the hollow of your throat

   And just breathe it in.

I love the smell of lavender.

" I bury my nose in the hollow of your throat, and just breath it in" I feel contented reading that, satisfied and well fed like a cat with cream. "and just breath" ooh chill bumps thinking about the completeness of the love I feel burrowed in my husbands skin.
