one last night
of making love
the way only you could —
in the morning
you’ll be gone
but we still have tonight
the summer eve breeze
makes itself at home
sneaking through
the open door
tossing your messy hair
but we still have tonight
a veil of jasmine scent
covers our bared skins
entwined with our smell
of lemon and lavender
of amber and musk
but we still have tonight
in the silver moonlight
your sienna eyes shine
with speckles of stars
and I get lost in your sky
miles away from home
but we still have tonight
your mouth tastes
like chocolate-covered berries —
your kisses are so sweet
I never want to stop
kissing you
but we still have tonight
only the Nigel bird
knows my loneliness
as I hear his melancholic song
my heart yearns for us
and I don't want to say goodbye
but we still have tonight
