As You Leave

 Don’t take it all,  though I want you to.  Stop when you reach   your favorite part,  as you would appreciate,  without devouring, art.  Right on the cusp  of being consumed  leave just the scent  of your body perfumed  to my pores and my sheets  and my pillow soaked through.  Leave me these remnants  of this night with you.  Leave on the verge  of our ecstasy.  Take with you a reason  to come back to me.
