I think of a lilac roseIt brings back all those scented thoughts of your smile
Uneasy, joyful, petaled garments blossoming upon your lips
Unpredictable, trembling moments of meeting heartbeats
Unsteady gazes of forbidden longings aroused by my gentle touch
I write of a candle
The soft undertone of my breath anguishes you
Scalding you slowly, cajoling a million unlived dreams of us
A fire in your soul being kindled with each second of separation
Consuming honey, you are the spirit behind these utterances
I speak of angels
They strike a chord within me of your ethereal grace
Your heavenly elegance pulsating prayers to Paradise
Your eternal beauty shining through
You are the Snow-white Moon
gleaming woefully in the loneliness of the twilight sky
I sing of isolated shorelines
Calm ebbs and flows of turquoise seas
Kissing untamed rocks in wonder
Jagged memories of moonlit driveways
Velvet tainted nights embracing your surreal body
Hoping the keys of truth be lost for all of time
I whisper of you and me—
How perfectly embedded we secretly are, within each other
Like the embalmed incense of burning amber
A million miles to that perfumed loving instant
Do not ever let me leave you behind
as the melancholy smoke that bids farewell to a smoldering ember
I cannot survive without the feverish ache of your fragrant love
Please, never let me go!
