Memories of a Fragrant Heart
A fragment of your shattered soul is all I have since last we met;
it wavers to the gentle sigh of nature's woodwind melody.
I stand before horizon blue with living-love at fingertips;
like a blooming heart, its crimson cast intones a blissful purity.
A faint sensation weaves throughout the solitary atmosphere;
its aromatic subtlety alleviates my wistful mind.
Your tender touch and sprightly smile, I now recall so vividly.
In a joyous breath, my inner being is purged of its dysphoric bind.
A fragment of your shattered soul is all I have, but now I know;
its vernal pulse must be returned so that you can be truly free.
My last goodbye, I give to you before I set your love adrift.
I am grateful that you took the time to plant yourself and grow in me.
Like the petals of this rose, you'll be...
an eternally fragrant memory.
