Intoxication

One Night, by CP Cavafy

The room was cheap and sordid,
hidden above the suspect taverna.
From the window you could see the alley,
dirty and narrow. From below
came the voices of workmen
playing cards, enjoying themselves.

And there on that common, humble bed
I had love’s body, had those<b> intoxicating </font></b>lips,
red and sensual,
red lips of such intoxication
that now as I write, after so many years,
in my lonely house, I’m drunk with passion again.

 I love that one too! Had filed it away as a possibility for posting later. So wistful... I relate more to the one I posted---thankfully I am still making lots of nice memories for my body to recollect when I am older.
