The scent of your soul

A caramelised breeze of fruit odours

reverberating  softly through my memory

Throwing me right back in ninth grade

where we sat side by side

Your right arm reaching slightly for my back.

Thoughts of you dwell in my mind

and your name resonates gently with my spirit

carrying me back to the shade

of purple orchids in evergreen woods.

Our first kiss perched upon last autumn's twig

still lingers in early morn's bone-china cup

wafting its pungent aroma of dark roast coffee-beans

and so the smell of rubber tyres against the wind.

Such revoked moments of unknown  danger 

Of fearless  dreams , and defiant  fun.

Other moments of beauty and snow angels

Of freedom and moonlights ,sunrise  and life.

I can still recall those weeks ,months ,years

till footprints marked separate  paths

and our shared candles became the past.

Ah those lazy siestas, those days...those nights...

Sweet as frosty vanilla and chocolate  chips of an ice -cream parlour

Melting as spongy marshmallows  and honey syrup 

Fresh as the linen of your shirt which haunts me 

like an alluring glance  of almond - shaped eyes.

This afternoon,  like other afternoons,  I walk to the library

that knows the musky sweat of your palm upon my own.

That fragrance  's gone now . All that is left is a fading perfume 

of forgotten  petals, between  old books  and dusty shelves.

Nobody  here, except my silence and a rotten sliced apple , 

Vacuum- packed ,lacking both cinnamon  and spice.

Back home, the mildewed strings of a guitar await my fingertips 

to play once more ,upon the worn out chords of my heart

What willI play , What will I sing , a song that isn't ours ?

Fermented wine I pour into an empty glass

Yearning to taste the grape for what it was

before all it was turned bitter, acidic and sour.

Alone , I wonder where you might be

So far or not so distant ,listening to the mood in  my voice

on once upon a record player, Wishing on a star ?
