Smell of Smoke
It's funny how love has a smell
It comes when two bodies fit perfectly together
Like long lost halves
Pieces missing from a whole
It's funny how long that smell lingers
In sheets
In clothes
In hair, sweat-stained
The walls and air and bodies
I still smell like your love last night
I still feel like your love last night
It's funny how the smell always has a feeling
Like when you are home
Tucked away in safe places where nothing could find you
Nothing could touch you except this feeling
Except my hands in your bed
My lips
Your lips on my thighs
It's funny how all of that fits into a smell
Sour and sweet
Like smoke from a dying fire
Begging and crackling to stay alive
For no other reason but to keep lovely bodies warm
Keep loving bodies warm
Keep blood in lips that spill kisses
Like clouds spill rain after days with no water
Light as air
As the touch from your hands
Like smoke from a dying fire
