The Scent Of You

The Scent Of You

Each time I see you the hunger within me
That hunger for your words
That once were so easy..now just an extension of you
But my words come not easy struggling within
Looking into your eyes can not disguise
The shades that otherwise exists in my minds, eyes
Those shades the streets
My thoughts of you
The applauding winds as it whistles through
Like applauding you
The nemesis of my being as I think of you
Whether my thoughts are within you or not.
Your lips in disguise you skin golden so gold
Whilst your lips I can forget not.
Forget the days of old
Searching your lips I could scent the essence of you
Reaching touching your hands with mine
You could hardly look at me
Yet you came close so close
Scenting a river in you..
Waters cascading the waterfalls
Their beauty clandestinely that only you knew
Finding refuge amongst those streets
The known roads the alleyways
The flower sellers where you bought those roses, for me
Their scent heavenly
 Those shadows by the light of the moon
That soon my hands will be holding you,
By the light of the moon.
I missed you every day of my days
Every night of my nights
Those little pains of yesterday
Whether I win or lose
My dreams were only dreams,
Dreams of yesterday
My eyes in dew like tears, our loss our very loss
My lips searching yours, through my tears
Searching words of yesteryear
Holding you, where you were taking root in my heart
In my restless world my city of old
I loved you..
That home we found and lost again
Like that poet in my heart, of hearts
We journeyed through high seas
The Savannah's the valleys the oceans
Where you and I, me standing before you
Crying out whispering breathing
Inhaling the scent of you..
