I cannot not how you smell
so I project my own desire
onto your unknown skin.
Patchouli. A scent that
makes him instantly goofy
and transports me at once
to the decade before
you even drew breath.
Even now that scent
on a crowded street
turns my head in wonder.
Scent, taste and touch:
our first mammalian memories.
Do not be troubled lover,
I will love and linger
on any olfactory lingerie
you care to wear or none.
My second favorite is just
sunshine on bare skin.
But any whiff of you will
become part of my heart
and I will inhale you
deep into my soul.
