"Return" by C.P. Cavafy

Return often and take me,
beloved sensation, return and take me --
when the memory of the body awakens,
and an old desire runs again through the blood;
when the lips and the skin remember,
and the hands feel as if they touch again.

Return often and take me at night,
when the lips and the skin remember....

"So much i gazed on beauty, that my vision is replete with it."

That Cavafy dude is definitely one hell of a poet!
