Fading Away

It wasn’t the darkness

Which entered my mind

Nor a twisted spike

Lodged in my head

It was only the smell of flowers

Lilacs, roses, wind swept memories

 

And your lilac colored

eyes, swept round you dream

Like, skin twisted into mine

Swept into the currents

Of our bodies

As they flowed and crashed

 

And your flowering

Wavering rosebuds in the wind

Pinks swept across the valley

Tears falling softly

Dripping down pedals

Melting away memories

 

And the breeze

As it idly drew the scent

Carried swiftly the perfumed air

Along the lilac winds

And Roses

Memories drifting underneath

 

Remembering you

But forgetting how that wind

Came so quickly

Yet already passed

How the rose colors

Ever rose to my cheeks

 

Sitting by the quietness

Of an oft forgotten absence

Memories in lilac winds 

Sweeping before my eyes

Reminding me of those

Which I used to hold in mine
