Lingering

You linger in my memory 
Like the scent of a flower 
Picked long ago in the moonlight 
Fresh and beautiful 
Soft and fragile 
Given with love 

You linger in my memory 
Like the passion of a storm 
Embraced in love's desire 
Wild and frenzied 
Sweet abandon 
Sensuous kisses 

You linger in my memory 
Like the heat of the sun 
Melting my heart into capture 
Bringing light to the darkness 
Casting away shadows 
Illuminating life itself 

You linger in my memory 

In my heart 

In my soul 

In my dreams 

For eternity
