Afterness

I once thought your name could roll off my tongue
So I would tightly close my soft lips
After kissing you and swallow with ease
The taste of you, with me forever.
When I am alone and miss your touch
I feed from memory, my caged passion.
You lowering your mouth, caressing me,
Arousing with kisses, wrapping my dreams.
I play your silent music in darkness,
Each note settling softly in my mind,
Reducing me with each breath to linger,
To hold you in my thoughts upon waking,
And to rock me into dreams come each night.

I wonder if you tasted of kisses
After your lips brushed against mine, yesterday.
I wonder if you felt my trembling
After the last touch, as your fingers parted mine
in a final caress.

Still...
I touch the cheek where softness reigned
memory of yesterday.
I touch the lips where thoughts were kissed
instead of words to say.
I touch the softness of my skin
where eyes of yours did press.
Treasuring, this night I glow
in total "afterness."

so many wonderful phrases:
"and swallow with ease
The taste of you, with me forever"
"I feed from memory, my caged passion"
"play your silent music in darkness"
This is exceptional Maureen thank you for reposting
