Aftertaste

It happened a couple of days ago
When shivers overtook my body
Though not present anymore
I sense they will return

A walk through wilderness
I would not go there with others
Black coffee on the bench
Jukebox melodies uplifting the mood

Absinthe so smoothing
Heart like a thrilling drum beat
Strong spirits and a chess board
I appreciated his patience

A cigarette lit way
Through a late night walk
Then a cinnamon scent
And the aftertaste on his lips

Not only the touch
The blue eyes too
Ocean deep voice
And the rhythm of the night

I hoped the moment would last
But morning arrived
Though not present anymore
I sense shivers will return
