Taste of salt lingers upon lips,
tears remain well past goodbye.
Senses left in disarrays with
kisses too tangible to forget.
Sweet lips leave everlasting
imprints, awaits love's return.
Long nights become unending,
no more to feel such bliss.

How the longing for love can bring on such sadness. And alone the poet lovers sighs... Where is cupid when I need him? Nice poet.
