Description
Ghosts of you
Touch
The feel of you under my fingertips
The warmth of you still on the sheets
The slick wetness of you
Sight
clothes scattered across the floor
lipstick prints on the rim of a glass
The arch of your back, fingers gripping the sheets
Sound
soft trembling breaths as my fingers explore you
sobbing delight as the passion explodes
Smell
Your perfume, lingering heavy in the air
scent of passion, heavy and sweet
Taste
licking red wine mixed with sweat
the taste of you still on my lips, honey and spice
I seem to catch sight of the ghost of you, out of the corner of my eye
but when I turn to look, you are gone.

this is really a marvelous poem my friend, loved the concept, very impressive, loved it, thank you for sharing!
Wonderful phrasing, beautifully written, lush and lovely. Might I make a small suggestion? Starting each verse with the sense you're describing stops the flow of the narrative for me. Your lines are long and undulating, and you've perfectly described the memory of each sense. Stopping to put a label on each one engaged my analytical mind and shut off emotion, made me think about five senses rather than simply enjoying the flow. Aside from that (which I TOTALLY get is my own preference), every word is perfect, every line sighs and sings, and I'm impressed as all getout with your writing ability. Excellent work!
Beautiful poem, outstanding work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
