Perfume of You

Awakening to the scent left of you in haze of incandescent light your form still imprinted in my sheets your perfume still on my pillows... I remember you spooning next to me with your sultry satin smile love that blossomed into magical moments our souls united and conjoined... And when the nights are torn asunder I recall the scent of your hair my soul the seed and you the planter out of the ground into celestial sky.. Missing you more than I thought I would haunted by the ghost of you your silhouette caressed by moonlight the smell of your perfume that lingers.. The enchanting kisses and fevered touch spirits that bewitched and bemoaned making love under licorice sheets ghost of you in gown of blue and gray... Often I awaken next to your ghost ghost that absconds souls like precious gems and for a singular second we dance and embrace then you disappear into a falling star.. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
