Morning arrives,
the still freshly scented sheets are all tangled,
wrapping me in the memory of last night.
Bones and sore muscles stretch
as I reach over to your side of the bed.
Empty and alone.
Cold and rumpled,
yet your scent lingers on them.
Opening one eye, I peer over and seek
where the pillow still holds the form of you
beside me.
Tingling all over as I remember what we shared
-- the flavor of you upon my bottom lip
-- the feel of those thick fingers where they clutched my head
Memories are splatters of warmed molasses that slowly ooze
around in my mind and tickle my senses once more.

*To see the world in a grain of sand, and heaven in a wild flower...Hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour...*
