Shoebox Love

I know
Love and adoration
I remember their scent ......so well
Stored in a shoebox on top of my aged wardrobe
Wrapped in reminiscent bright pink tissue
Origami of the mind
Occasionally I climb
Reach and tug
At the scarlet silk ribbon that surrounds it
Tip toeing through diligent daisies
Open the storage to all I secretly treasure

And
Smell the memorable scent of our anticipation
Regard the look of adoration
Feel the touch of passion stroke the thighs of my wishful mind
Hear the sighs of whimsical, after thoughts
And I am back in your arms as your most prized possession
At the moment just after

The Oh so precious moment before
