I can smell the basil leaves
    from the kitchen           You once stood in. The hum of your voice,
      as it fills the air            with Your lullaby. With The sweet kiss
        from Your lips                         
            the dishes are left undone.
I found this in my old jacket pocket.
I couldn't bring myself to just toss it away, so I fixed it up just a tad..although it does not seem finished I'm adding it here just in case I forget.
I do not know if I want to change the "The" to "A"- sweet kiss..
I wanted it to be more...of a singled out kiss, just the "right" one.

I don't really think you need to change anything. I also think it seems finished to me. I prefer poetry to leave me "hanging" a little, or when it captures that *one* moment. Great work. :)
