A Crumpled Duvet
A crumpled duvet still remains
To mark the place where we have lain
A perfumed pillow hints of hair
That darkly curls on shoulders bare
Champagne corks that popped and flew
Quietly toast the ghost of you
A chocolate wrapper folded lies
Where once I lay between your thighs
Tossed aside a silken gown
That wrapped brown limbs as soft as down
But where’s the mirror’s soft reflection
Of love that soared to reach perfection?
