Scent Words

 

Home now

And how

Did those hours 

Pass through my fingers

I am humbled

A girl

Curled up with the shirt

Where his scent 

Still lingers

Oh..This..hurts

In the sweetest

Of ways 

Sleepless for days

While he offered

Me nights

Gave me so much right

Offered all the very words

That tasted so light

As they melted 

On my tongue

The one 

He searched for 

With his own

With his tone

Soft at my ear

I hear it still

Filled 

With new words

One's he said were 

Honest, 

Overdue words

My head questioned

His eyes beckoned

Please believe

Let me show 

What you can't see

And I melted 

At his hands

And offered him heat

Low low down

In the center of me

Pressed against his need

While his hands pressed 

Against my cheeks

As he openly honestly

Looked 

At

    Me

Clocks counted time 

But I 

Lost mine 

In his 

Sweet 

Sure calm

What was this place

This cloud 

We were on

How did he know

The scent that would 

Make my head spin

The touch that could 

Let him find his way in

He in seconds 

Built bridges 

To places I was certain

I'd left behind

He crossed without doubt

Or hesitation

All with delicately timed patience

With whispers 

And well placed kisses

He lay me down on this cloud

And with the hours

Left long 

The sun was gone

And I was on

Another

Plain

Just he 

And I 

And the sound

Of his name

In my mouth

Soft soft pleas

Let's just be

But... 

The world as it must

Came back in rush

This night for now

Would be enough

And so I found

Myself gone 

Home alone

A girl 

Still hot 

from the hours spent

Curled up with a shirt

That still holds

His scent
