Your FragranceA Poem by Reckless EtherealAbout her.
Sometimes when I am daydreaming,
I catch a subtle scent, In the air, it tip-toes by, Side to side to catch it, my head is bent I cease my hallucinogenic stupor, I can smell it better now, Like something from my dreams, It seems foreign, I sigh and crease my brow Why is this familiar? It fills me up, It smells of strong decaying flowers, I used to fall asleep to it, overpowering me, It felt like home after all those forgone hours My breath catches in my chest, I have realized what this is, how could I not, A salty streak runs down my cheek, My stomach aches, my emotions in a knot I remember you, like a flickering bulb, Not always with me, here, yet silent, The smell is a ghost, and begins to leave, I chase after nothing, trying to find it with defiance I sink to the floor, once more alone, My chest shakes with defeat, But then, as I lay down to my sorrow, It comes again, and you comfort me to sleep © 2016 Reckless Ethereal |
