more so your scent is

each precious moment
of morning quiet
i am up

i am here
or there
as you sleep
we are still
and i think and you dream
we are still

as anxious to hear
first footfall
to floor to stair decent
the warmth of hand
the back of neck
our kiss
your skin
your scent
our skin
is one
day begins
brilliant
each day

stripped
like these
words naked
touching
breathing
smelling you
on the wrist
of my heart

never hide
your scent
my oxygen

more so
you are
and you
won't hide
again

  2. A scent, breathing, a footfall. I must confess I believe that beyond the epic events of love and death, it is the Poet's role to reacquaint us with our humanity. Thank you!

  3. Very nicely done, especially the way you relied on the strength of the images and the line breaks in place of punctuation.

  5. K - I try to strip things raw and make image and break tell the story in most of my writing.
