L'Arome (de L'Amour)


from the ABC set Moments and Memories

It was the smell of you as
you brushed my cheek
with your lips, fresh showered and
I was still drowsy

It was the smell of you
as you came to my bed
smoke still in your hair and
I was half waking

It was the smell of you
as you wrapped your legs
around mine in your sleep and
staked your claim

It is the smell of you
that lingers

Short, simple and quite charming. (Hope that doesn't sound like an insult).

Many thanks - I'm not insulted at all. I think 'charm' is much maligned, as is 'nice'.

This creates a lovely little cameo in ones mind. Simple and beautiful. Val

thank you Val. Simple appears to be what I usually end up with, no matter what my starting point is or what route I take!

Simple is good, esecially if what it has to say is memorable and stays with the reader long after it has been read. This does. Believe it. (-; Val x
