The Incense that Smell of You (Memories)

The Incense That Smell of You (Memories)

Soft tendrils of
Fragrant smoke
Writhe through
The air,
Creating intricate
Patterns around
me.

The wisps of
Smoke seem
to follow my
eyes, and soon,
its designs fill
my eyes.
And as I look
Deeper and deeper,
I can see...

...Your face,
Gentle with the
Smile I miss.
...Our embrace,
quiet and
Comforting.
...Our kiss,
desperate,
consuming.

I become enthralled,
And I can only see
You,
Us,
Our happiness.

Then, the incense
Is at its end,
And the smoke
Disappears...
Taking the visions with it.

I cannot help but
Smile.
