"your scent is on my skin" - 2023
* * *
your scent is on my skin;
it lingers - I inhale;
all this - it's just a whim!
I pray: O Heart, go stale
again! Turn bleak and pale -
I do not want your ale!
your moisture on my skin -
I hurriedly destroy;
in truth - I wish to dally:
to savour and imprint,
its dangers not to tally...
come, come - I must be coy!
your essence on my skin...
How do I shake it off?!
it's seeped in to the brim...
I'm drowning in this face-off,
but giving you the showdown -
I am your tongue-tied dumb clown
No more! That's settled down!
