Short Savour The Moment Poems

a warm breath in the night
caresses the nape of my neck
      my eyes still closed
      sense its sweetness
            and in the backdrop
            the pitter-pattter of
            raindrops gently falling
serene i savour the moment
stretching it into the depths
of a moonless darkness

Let flavours explode
Biting Life’s experience
Expires quicker in sun...
