some mornings
after you leave
i lay
in the once warm
now cooling
depression
in the sheets
and wrap myself
in the scents
of the night we shared
amante.
What can you say in 160 characters? (spaces included) Say it and go see Monkey Man.
Also, another scratching from my journal for Sunday Sketches at Blue Chair Diary.

Sweet memories of intimacy.
Scent is such an important part of ourselves, and so underrated. Lovely drawing, Brian. You really are multi-talented!
Agreed! Scents are important especially the lingering kind. That's a smashing sketch, is there no end to your talents?
Scent & Warmth.The Perfect Prescription For Winter.
Like my husband right now, still in bed :)
Deliciously written :o)
Wonderful sketch Brian and savoring the scent of love is wonderful also... sensual 160
Ahhhh, pretty!
Did you draw that?
We once again did the yin yang Brian.
I hope the scent left lingering for you was better than the taste for me.
Romance..... :)
ooooh, how romantic.....wow!
Great sketch to accompany the thoughts. Happy Halloween to you, it's never ending, isn't it? ha ha ha - enjoy your family today! xo
WM...perhaps we are two personalitites in the same head...smiles.
That was just downright HOT :) great sketch too!!! Don't eat too much Halloween candy :)
Saaah weet.
Yep, my Irish musician should *definitely* write poetry on the side. :)
Beautiful 160.
Love the illustration and the sweet memories you created with the 160.
cheers,
joanny
I can still smell the scent of my husband in his clothes...
@me..."I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that..."
oh that is poetry....smiles.
Gifted, gifted gifted, I love everything you write, but I don't do well with long pieces, restless I guess...But This...a short poem with one ofyour sketching, it's fabulous, i love your talents
Lovely drawing, lovely piece!
Especially wonderful with the weather chilling. Sweet.
That's a lovely sentiment behind this piece. Warm and snuggly!
Sweet!
You're such a sigh-evoker. And an artist, to boot! Lovely, Brian.
Very snuggly for a cool fall morning. And not scary at all. ;-)
Happy Halloween!
I like the woman who wrote,
"You are such a sigh evoker".
That's a great line. Love the drawing. So you draw too? A Renaissance man.
Happy Halloween. Watch out for Smashing Pumpkins!
Sweet. Love the sketch, yours I see by the signature ... is there no end to your talents? WOW.
Amante, "lover". Nice!
This is beautiful.
I am loving that you are writing and drawing! (The detail of the indent in the pillow is perfect!)
ah, lovely, romantic...
Awwww. Now this is such a commonplace experience beautifully described by ye. The sketch is so apt.
Brian, your talent is slowly being excavated. Please do something about that. Collect everything and bring out a book and dedicate it to T.
Joy and smiles,
Susan
That scratching is sweet and ties into the words beautifully.
Love it, absolutely love it as it somewhat touches upon my own feelings right now...
Beautiful drawing as well, you are so multi-talented.;)
Happy Halloween dear Brian,
xo
You've said a lot and said it well. Thanks.
Lovely. I like it!
ahhh- that was really sweet - wrapped in the scent..nice
usually i get up first..but sometimes when i forgot sth and come back to the bedroom i find that hubby has changed bed sides - maybe for the same reason...will ask him...
have a wonderful sunday brian!
Very sweet poem. I really like your drawing.
love the sketch and your words that followed which painted the picture beautifully!
thank you
Very impressive, I'm full of admiration.
What I wouldn't give to experience that first hand! Lovely sketch and 160, Brian!
Very evocative :O)
one can differentiate people with scents good one mate ;)
You are quite the artist, Brian!
i love your drawing...it has such great detail, and very well written thoughts too!
beautiful, sad poem
What a beautiful poem and drawing - you are very talented!
No matter the amount of letters you use, the results are memorable!! Lingering is good!!
Excellent pencil drawing, B. Love the 160 as well. Thanks for playing.
sad....dang i was going for romantic...
Hello Brian,
Very interesting but factual facts of intimacy and relationship in life beautifully expressed in simple but effective word pictures.
Best wishes,
Joseph
ugh.. the only scent i smell on my sheets is me..
envy eyes.
Love it!
Happy Halloween to you and yours! :)
WOW, Brian! Incredible. Romantic. Beautiful words/poem.
wonderful sketch too actually, Brian--and you said you couldn't draw?!!
Sensual...brings back some good memories. Mmmm.
You are such a romantic!
What sensual memories you paint in so few characters! As usual, your 160 has my mind in a different world and I'm loving it.
Happy Sunday! Happy Halloween!
The most wonderful thing about it all is that your bed won't stay empty. Drink it all in my friend.
Wonderful image, Brian. But why didn't you get up and cook her breakfast?!
It's one thing to have the ability to put your thoughts, feelings, and emotions into words...it's another to ADD to that powerful list with a great sketch. I'm impressed. POWERFUL romantic words and I love the emotion that the sketch added to it. Whoa.
I love those solitary lingering embraces.
Nice 160! And what a last word for it. Happy Halloween!
Very romantic! Nice artwork, too!
You say so much with so few words.
I love that we leave traces of ourselves in the places we visit...even the most intimate places. Wonderful 160, Brian.

So lovely. It is amazing what one can say in 160 words. Also enjoyed the magpie tale story. Perfect for Halloween.
Ain't love grand :-)
Happy Halloween, jj
You my friend certainly can say much with little...brilliant;)
Sometimes you make me blush. Your pieces can be so romantic and personal.
Happy Halloween.
You take something that is so real to all of us and put it into the words we can't find. Wonderful!
aww, very nice :)
such a lovely poem and love the simple sketch that accompanies it.
Yeah, laying in the place where love slept is comforting.
great pairing of lovely words and thoughts with a great sketch brian
Such an intimate poem.
Wonderfully envisioned.
And very nicely written.
Perfect Bri- down to the crease in the pillow
always love it when you get a chance to put up a drawing too
Have a great week
Hi! Brian...
Ah! scents...
How they linger...
bringing back memories...
Brian, all I can say is that your sketch compliment your nice use of 160 words...completely!
Thanks, for sharing!
DeeDee ;-D
Scent of a night of love!No perfume can equal its scent!
Amazing sketch,Brian!My one true frustration in life...I CAN'T DRAW!!
This is so sweet and pretty, Brian...and I love your drawing too! =o) Paulette
So sweet! I love rolling into the once filled-now vacant sheets spot.
I came back for a second read - an d realised that I'd given the drawing too little attention the first time around. It's equally good.
haha!Really nice and hot poem!Amante :) love the drawing too!
so tender.
your artistic talents extend to other mediums? of course they do. :-)
I do that as well. She tells me that she slides to the warmth I left and likes the smell of me. Nice to have those moments of pure love.
Very romantic words and wonderful sketch. Absolutly perfect. I would love to have this on a card to give to my DH.
so warm, beautiful and loving brian. just lovely.

I wish I could do that. Unfortunately I am the one always leaving the scent and that is probably not a good thing. Nice work.
I have been known to sleep with my boyfriend's sweatshirt when I have missed him.
Romance:)
Love it...all lovers love to do this, right????? It is a rite of passage.ha
Goodness. . . there are no more words after that! You even have a sketch to go along!
I love the way love lingers.
Sometimes I do that too. :)
Great sketch, Brian. Clean and full of meaning. Almost every morning I get to do that too, hubby is up before I am and he makes coffee for us and I slowly wake as I delight in his scent and our scent.
So sweet! Scent of love ...
I do that - I'm always so reluctant to change the sheets until the warm smell is gone.
these words, with the sketch, very Leonard Cohen
What the hell time does T get up? 4 am? haha!
You are a modern day Leonardo Da Vinci. So many talents.
i am soooo patootie in my reading.
the sketch and words compliment.
the words are lovely.
beautiful & recognisable
love the sketch
"and wrap myself
in the scents
of the night we shared"
wow Brian!
Another one of your mushy ones. I love these. I make Bob read them, wearing his old man reading glasses of course. :-)
