The Memory of Your Taste

   
   
Your memories stay with me  
The warm summer nights  
The sand between our toes  
Your face in firelight  
Wearing no clothes  
Burning hotdogs, eating graham crackers  
Toasting marshmallows  
Making Smores  
   
All the moments of our life,    
Without waver, I see crystal clear  
Our winter days at the sea  
Waves splashing on the beach  
Bracing cold of offshore breeze  
Reddening our cheeks  
The wet tides and the driftwood fire  
Drying our feet  
   
Life was like the kites we’d fly  
Moving, dipping, forever changing  
But our teasing, laughing, our sexy play  
Were just sandy footprints on the shore  
Our life writing in the sand    
Briefly seen, before the tide came in  
But, I will hold your memory forever    
And I will not let time take you away  
   
I will always remember your body  
Laying naked next to me    
Watching the eagle’s nest  
Smothering me with your kisses  
Burying me with your arms  
Running your fingers along my chest  
We were covered in blankets  
When you put your mouth on mine  
   
I will remember your flavor    
My tongue tasting your breast  
The rise and fall of your belly  
Your little gasps of breath    
Your wispy of strands of hair  
Brushing my face, touching my neck    
I feel your essence  
You're alive, and awake, inside of me    
In the deepest depth of soul  
Your presence, your arms around me    
And I will not let that feeling go  
Even in death  
   
So let death try its best, to take memory    
But, I will not let your feeling go  
   
I will hold forever    
To your hair against my face    
To the feeling of your motion  
   
Holding on forever, to the sensation of your taste
