In The Dark Poem by Dónall Dempsey

In The Dark

Rating: ★5.0


Jasmine
stains the air.


You kiss me
in darkness

and the darkness
of your hair

flutters against
my closed eyes

your mouth
appears out of nowhere

a soft unseen
surprise


only the jangle
of your earrings

gives you
away

that
and the desire

that your tongue
searches out

I, in turn
seek you out

kiss your mouth.


Jasmine
stains the air.

A perfume, an after-shave....a fragrance remembered 20 years later still stirs the senses...the memories...the feelings....the love and longing...
