The Scent of Your Soul Lingers

The scent of your soul lingers,

With whispers of your breath.

Warming my innards deep,

A sweet sublime of ecstasy.

Writhing tendrils vining ‘round,

Inhaling deeply of your essence.

Intertwining memories of surrender,

Life sustaining supplier to my heart.

Drink the luscious nectar of peaches,

Juices dripping down my chin.

Slipping in your sweetness,

A puddle it forms at my feet.

The scent of your soul lingers,

Upon my tingling lips.

A delicious taste of honey,

Thick, syrupy liquid of life.

It sears upon my brain,

Burning its brand of light.

Swirling upon my tongue,

Tenderly sucking every last drop.

Moist as thick as humid heat,

A shimmering haze of gossamer web.

Basking in the muted dawn,

The scent of your soul lingers.

A wonderfully lucid, synesthetic write. You weave it so vividly I can taste that scent and it leaves me in a state of breathless, melancholy suspension.

Ah this is so wonderful, enjoyed this.

[David Michael]

Tantalizing! I don't know what else to say.... I think that sufficiently expresses my thoughts. I'm still lost in the poem; you have me trapped. Sorry for my lack of eloquence. I think my jaw might be open at the moment - not sure...

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Now that is what i call a sugar rush that is good for the heart. A sweet poem indeed.

[EMF]

Wow. Power and intensity. Beautiful, sensual and intense. Time for a lie down I think.

[Zachary_James]
