Mint and Lust

Your smile

tastes of mint smoke.

It’s refreshing

against the taste of my tears

and the drink you gave me

to stop them.

Your eyes

trace their way down

my body

seeing

knowing

touching

every little sweet spot

long forgotten.

Your hands

melt into mine;

a connection revisited.

And for a moment

I see in your gaze

that (love lust longing) we shared.

I blink

and it is gone

in the moonlight

and blinking light

from your clock.

So I close my eyes

and let the smell of tobacco

in your hair

and the smile against my lips

bring me

to a dark connection

I know far too well.

We can be together.

Just one more time.

Just for tonight.
