Odour. Fragrance. Soil.

all I want
is to bask in the euphoria of your beauty
to feed on your eyes

I watch as my emotions litter
your pretty lonely heart
a silhouette of you lives in my head

you only walked past me once
but my gaze followed your steps
you left me with a string of you

the fragrance you wore
drenches my imaginations
strips me of all of my breath

if you ever find this note
it’s because I followed you home
so I can write another tomorrow
