I close my eyes and across the years a gentle breeze
Bringing me the delicate scent of you and I
The intoxicating odor of the sun warming your hair
Your perfumed breathe hot against my neck
The smells of a day long past,
Heavy with the aroma of our mingled musk.
With a force of will I clamp my eyes shut
against the ever present Now
that would tear me from your side
Deeper and deeper do I struggle to inhale
These ghostly gaseous aromatic memories
Lungs straining inside my chest
Surely to exhale would be my Death.
Forever lost in a moment
In a memory
In an Aroma from the past. JD
