Surreptitious Breaths

Silken linens scented of 

  last night's rendezvous,

     still wafting midst

         reticent moments, 

cognac and aromatic

   candlelight burning 'neath

      surreptitious breaths, 

  as we unfurled

     sultry seduction's poetry 

              'tween clandestine shadows

There you go again. I don't sigh because I think it's cliche and I'm too cool for that (see backwards cap) but I almost did with this. Lovely - now I'm going to dictionary.com to translate this to Texan so I can fully understand it

Oh c'mon you get it, no need to translate to Texan, I didn't realize you lone star boys spoke a foreign language. :)
