The Smell of You
A poem

The smell of you
on me
lingers long
after you leave
lasting past lunch
blends with a breath of Basil;
Caprese carries me through the afternoon
delight
in your musk
mixed with oakmoss
wafts of unwashed skin
rubbed together and rolled
in unassuming Lavender bed sheets
The smell of you
on me
dawdle still
into the dusk
sun sets and Semillon
scents send subliminal
messages via whiffs of wild Tuberose
the night
returns
your trail prevails
like a potpourri
of powdery soft suede mingled
with minxy Linden blossoms in the breeze
The smell of you
on me
resides
to remind me;
arousing relics of raw
filthy fragrances of hot flesh
heats the bed as if you never left
