Petrichor

Bookmark
Summary:
.a love over centuries.

you left me a scar
under September rain,
Petrichor on my skin
a reminder that sky and earth
can untie in one place.

you smelt like home
the warmth of a mother I never had
the backbone of the father I lost
a long long time ago.
you smelt like me
my soul and my sincerity,
the wee parts inside
those which need to bloom
into a full integrity.

my relationship with you
is like the rain on pebbles,
where I am the beautiful unseen
and You are the poetry in motion
alive through water rhythms. 

I come again today
 sad and devoted
to hold the old of you
the young of you
  the forever of you.

there I am
in the intimate of the upcoming winter,
the pertichor it is me,
and You are the inspiration of the rain
that I will always long for
and the love I have passed alive
over centuries.
