Longing

My eyes wander Over every face that I see So that I may catch some resemblance of you I breathe in the air Not so for the need to live But so I may catch somehow a whiff of your fragrance Perhaps gone astray from where you stand I revisit the places close to your home And reach out to touch clefts, least you ran your blessed hands on them Over some point in time My mind is spent in devising nefarious plots and schemes To give me one good reason I could call you again I run harder and harder Kick start my dead beat heart I open my chest to let in air Dizzy with exertion There is no picture painted like you There can be no perfume that can replicate your heavenly redolence No feel in this life that can match your healing touch No pain worse than your absence around me
