The Scent Of You *****

The Scent Of You

By Connie James

Each time I see you, within me

That hunger, for your words

That once was, so easy,
Now just an extension, of you but my words come,
Not easy, loving you.

Looking into your eyes, cannot disguise

Shades that otherwise, exist in my minds, eyes 

My thoughts of you

The applauding winds, whistling through

Applauding, you.

The nemesis of my being

My thoughts are with you 

Your lips ripe as cherries, you skin gold

Forget I cannot, not that kiss 

The days of old

Searching your lips, 
I could, scent the essence, of you

Touching your visage, with mine

You could hardly look at me

Yet you came, close so close

Scenting a river, in you...

Cascading, waterfalls

Clandestinely, beauty, that only you knew

Finding refuge, amongst those streets

The known roads the, alleyways

The flower sellers, where you bought those roses

Scented, heavenly!
The beaming moonlight, in between the shadows 

Soon I'll be holding you,

Missing 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

In dew, my eyes tear feeling your, loss
Searching your lips, through my tears

Recollecting, words of yesteryear

Holding you close  
While taking roots, in my heart.

In my restless, world my city of old

I've loved you...

Having found you and lost, again

The poet residing, in my heart,

We journeyed through high seas

The Savannah's the valleys, oceans

You and I 
Me standing before you 
Loving, whispering breathing 

Inhaling the scent of you...
