YOU
February, 2010
Exact date, forgotten
So long since
I have felt your
Gentle acrid kiss
Upon my lips
I’m not unsettled
At the thought of you
Anymore
But somehow
Tonight
I long to hold you
And feel your
Caress on my chest
Your warm wetness
Welcoming me
Once again

Gentle, acrid kiss...the kiss of a smoker. I don't miss the stench. But your poem is a tender reminiscence.

But somehow
Tonight...
Well penned, that miserable feeling.
