(mostly) short poems on life and love

4:27 am

August 24, 2019 by Michael Guerin

your perfume lingers here
like morning dew
which clings to each blade
of uncut grass
before being burned away
on a summer’s day.

from room to room i wander
aimless and lost
as your sweet scent haunts
my every breath.

in the window’s glass
my pale reflection stares
blankly past a barren landscape
once filled with grace
which still aches
for your bare footsteps.

(for samira / sreedevi)
