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.
