Lying in the Bed You Built

I love that I can lounge
on cappuccino mornings
and watch you
in the kitchen
strutting in your
stolen pink bathrobe
from cupboard to sink
crafting the perfect pull
with just a hint of hazelnut
smiling across hardwood floors
all the way back to our bed
where I needn’t do anything
but nest in the down
one leg flirting
with the edge of the sheet
still humming from where you
last kissed me

This poem made me smile, especially the "stolen pink bathrobe line." I know that pink bathrobe. I've seen that pink bathrobe, and I think you need to do it more justice -- it's not simply pink.
