Milieux Poems | Examples

I Miss Your Touch

In some milieux I went, I caught the scent
Of your favorite perfume.
I wanted to follow where it went—
Blowing from room to room.

In some places I’ve been, I thought I’d seen
Someone who looked just like you
But I know it could not have been;
T’was just coincidence I knew. 

Chorus:
This one wore her hair like you.  That one had your smile.
The other seemed to move like you and had your fashion style.
But none of them feel like you, like when I pulled you close.
None of them make me feel like you did, when you held me close.

At a social event, I heard your accent,
And the timbre of your voice.
It faded softly until spent—
Lost to the background noise.

Repeat and fade on chorus
