perfume

it the small things that make us love...

...Perfume...

 

we walked along the water’s edge

...hand in hand...

the sun shone...

blessing our faces and

transforming the water ripples

...into a sea of twinkling stars...

your hand was small in my large paw

but you clung tightly...

...as did I...

 

we leaned upon granite stone

made perfectly smooth

by  millennia of wandering...

I looked at you with warm

...appreciation...

 

your eyes were hidden

behind your shades...

but I knew they were green..

the warm breeze caught and tousled

...the wisps of your hair...

I opened my hand at your request...

your fingers traced the outline

...of my own...

I told you the story behind every scar

and you softly kissed every one...

...you queried...I replied...

and as we talked about our lives...

 

...I breathed your perfume...
