Eiderdown and Silk

Memories are made 
of sights and sounds and scents
that slide across the tongue
with sweetened smoothness
and linger just long enough
to tantalize.

They drift like phantoms through 
the open windows of my mind
like summer breezes kissed 
by rose petals.
 
The good ones are soft
as eiderdown and silk,
and made of starlight 
sprinkled 
over morning dew. 

But the best memories
are simply made
of you.
