The scent of you



The Scent of you

Each time I see you
Hungering for your words
That once so easy, now just an
extension of you...
But your words come not easy
Struggling thinking of you...
Looking into your eyes, cannot disguise
Shades perpetually on my mind
The shady streets, my thoughts of you 
Turbulent, winds whistling through
My nemesis my thoughts forever with you
Your red lips your skin like the golden sun
The softness of your eyes
The days of old...
I can scent the essence of you
Reaching your lips, touching you 
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 
The unknown roads the alleyways
The flower sellers the scented roses 
Smelled heavenly...
The moon in her half-light, casting shadows uponyou...And my hands whispering over you!
I've missed you, every second every moment
of my days...
Every hour, every night of my nights
yesterday's little pains...
Win or lose...
My dreams were only dreams
Dreams of yesterday... 
Like the first-morning dew
Tears dancing behind my eyes, our loss
Through my tears reaching your lips
Searching words from yesteryear 
Holding you for life so, dear
All the while taking root, in my heart
In my restless world, my city of old
I've loved you...
Having found you, to lose again 
A poetry in my heart, of hearts
Through high seas, we've journeyed, ocean wild 
In the savannah's the valleys
And I standing before you
Whispering, crying breathing
Inhaling the scent of you!!
