The Smell of Lilacs

I already miss you--
You left tonight
With the setting sun.

I taste the warmth
Of your whispered breath
On my fleeting thoughts;

I love the smell
Of fresh lilacs
And the summer sky.

I already miss you--
You left tonight
With the setting sun.

I feel the smoothness
Of your soft cheeks
On my hollowed heart;

I love the touch
Of tranquil oceans
And the summer sky.

I already miss you--
You left tonight
With the setting sun.

I hear the echo
Of your gentle voice
In my barren stomach;

I love the sound
Of singing sparrows
And the summer sky.

I already miss you--
You left tonight
With the setting sun.
