Sandalwood (revised)

air

and earth

sweet

and cool

breath draws me

into a memory:

 

…time

suspended…

 

a world forgotten

in an embrace

of being

that only lovers know;

decadence

in simplicity

and the perfection

of a moment shared

and the remembrance

of her skin

 

…and moments pass…

 

ambient gravity

holds me adrift

on a lazy breeze

 

A revision of an earlier posted poem.
