One Moment


from the ABC set 2011

The imprints of your fingers
Have marked a half-full glass.
The sentiment still lingers,
The moment's due to pass.

Your glance can still appear
In my Campari drink
Like blood that's mixed with tears,
Or passion's scarlet ink.

My hand's already missing
Your gentle velvet skin.
My heart is reminiscing
The sweetest little sin -

The dream that made my morning.
Your arms, your voice, your lips
Discover space for yearning...
I'd better go to sleep...

Yep, you've got that longing teed up and you drive it a fair way down and down.

Much enjoyed, April. I used to drink Campari and orange, when 'those were the days'. Congrats on the cherry;-)
