The Scent of Her

Oh for a breath, a taste of the fragrance,
a wispy hint of the perfume she wears,
warmed by the heat of her cheek,
the length of her neck, the cleft of her breast.
Oh for just a breath, I’d give days of life,
lengths of soul, the years I have left –
all for a breath, the scent of her.

JW-

Your words, fraught with tender emotions, leaver their own traces in the air. Enjoyed this.

You're making me smell some very ancient colognes in memory, James...

and the empty warmth of well-worn hugs...
