Vanessa
Long after sleep has captured your body
And dreams, like butterflies, float above your head
I sneak into your bedroom,
rest my head on your pillow
To inhale the sweet fragrance
The aroma that is YOU!
You smell of fall wind
which tangles your braids.
Tangy orange and lime
still lingers on your breath.
The nape of your neck-
I think "new-born puppies"
And your hands are vanilla
like your favorite soap.
That scent- so complex, so unique yet
so yours
captivates my senses and encodes in my brain.
You talk in your sleep
and all of a sudden
I get a rare glimpse
Inside one of your dreams.
