Wearing You I'm kissing you Your lips. neck And nether places In my imagination, The scent of you lingers On me On my lips On my face Wearing you there Thinking of no one else How you moved To my touch Still feeling you there Intoxicated With your taste You stay with me Till morning's shower ~You have to have a dream so you can get up in the morning. ~ Billy Wilder |

Nicely done Mr. Yeats....aren't you just the romantic....me too yanno?...LOL.....sometimes I really do get serious.....I usually see a shrink when that happens though.....and believe me, it's been serious a bunch of times.....this makes ya think of certain moments with certain loves of the past.....I sometimes would love to be water....I envy water, the way it can touch a woman all over at the same time....yanno what I mean?....Oh....that's okay....not many know what I mean most of the time....nice poem here though.....

Yes....I too have been there!  There is nothing like waking up to the scent you love so much! Wilfred you've said it well. ~Sheri "The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those who got there first" |

I too, have been there! Many's the time, year after year, I stayed in bed, just enjoying that familiar and intoxicating scent, and purposely rejected that shower! Ahem ... I'd better stop here! [This message has been edited by Rosemary J. Gwaltney (edited 10-13-2000).] |

I suffer from loss of memory... but that's okay Rj plays a re-run every morning. I'm glad she stopped there. dale < !signature--> Writing, isn't just something I do... it's something I am...

Bill...The sense of smell is one of the most special...for lingering in and for remembering, and your poem is a loving and sensual reminder. |

Dale - Judging by the success of your partnership - I've no doubt - Sadly for me the memory is rare and the treasure of my dreams is yet to be realized. but thank you RJ- Once achieved - it is an unforgetable experience - a memory we treasure Toerag- I love the water thing you describe - I think you should write about it in a comparable poem - Thank you Bill C- Sometimes a memory is so vivid - the desire to relive it becomes overwhelming - Thank you Sheri- To me there are levels - waking alone with a loved one's scent still on the pillow - can prolong my stay in bed - But having the taste on my face and nose is several strata above that  - Thank youVicky - I'm not sure what you're asking of me Thanks ~WG~ Rosemary - the female perspective on this - could be a very entertaining Post in the forum - I hope you reconsider - thank youDale - With or without memory loss - the reruns - must be wonderful for you - I'm envious Martie- Thank you for noting the loving part of this little effort on my part. It truly is an essential ingredient. thank you ~You have to have a dream so you can get up in the morning. ~ Billy Wilder |

Wil, I agree with Martie about scent being one of the most most powerfully senses connected to emotion. This poem evoked so many memories for me. It was great. Kethry Growth demands a temporary surrender of security. Gail Sheehy |

Kethry - Paula - As I write my response - I cannot help but be fascinated by the realization - that many female responses - were not those of a giver but as the receiver - i.e. identifying with the wearing of scent and taste rather that the giver. I din't know why - nut it surprised me - thank you. |
