Mystic Rose Rose Poet Free verse

Drifting Away Like Smoke

A breath of fresh air 
          a memory 
Summer rings 
         inside my heart 
like a bell 
  from long ago;  
Pine needles 
       in your hair 
scent of tobacco 
         on your shirt 
Skin to skin 
        the heat 
 love,  
drifting away, like 
             smoke !
