you stormed into my life like a typhoon.
swept me off my feet
as i get whisked into the air
in a single smoky breath.
restless, relentless spirit,
a thing of mystery and wander;
an acquired sight to behold
from afar.
at the whiff of your scent on another body,
words escape me
while memories rush in:
your salty skin on the tip of my tongue,
your warm hands squeezing my sides,
your books on my bedside table,
the sight of unanswered blue ticks
the soft toothbrush i left behind
the silence of blocked calls
and i am grounded again.

a restless spirit sweeping me off my feet
in a single smoky breath -
relentless,
a thing of mystery and wonder,
an acquired sight to behold from afar,
a ride
i cannot stay on.
yet, at the whiff of your scent on another body, words escape me
i think of your salty skin on the tip of my tongue,
the warmth of your hands on mine, and
the things we left for each other:
my toothbrush at your place
your books beside my bed
and the sound of blue ticks signalling
that i am grounded again.
