Fragrant Flashbacks
Today has felt like nostalgia
The rain spoke to me
Mid evening
She listened
Felt as though my side is something she would never be leaving
The muggy after taste of her presence lingers on my lips
Making me recall all the conversations I’ve ever heard and said
I realize I have been left starved of love
Like I’ve never been fed
Maybe this rain will quench my thirst
Or lead me astray
Have me left cursed
Either way if she ever has to leave me I hope she leaves peacefully
instead of with just a piece of me
Maybe the angels are crying for me
Maybe today was my day of acknowledgement
To have the earth grieve for me
What a beautiful sight
To see
To smell
To feel
Feel the rain cascade down my skin as I surrender to something greater than myself
Earth you have permission to take me
Not just a part of me
But all of me
For I want to be one with you
For this mere mortal existence is nothing but untrue
