Alone in Bliss

On my clothes, on my skin - 
Mmm God! - his smell is on me,
Like his soul clinging to mine,
These vestiges of ecstasy.

I lift away a strand
Of my long, golden hair,
But leave the shorter, dark one
I have found lying there.

The touch of his last kiss
Persisting on my lips,
I let the aching mount
Lik him, between my hips.

I sit alone in bliss,
Wanting no other solitude, save this.
