Aug27
first rain of summer
the earthy smell of petrichor
romanticism in the air
you arouse in me
those visceral emotive feelings
unknown to me
in the dark alley
the cat lurched forward
but the mouse ran away
recite a poem
sing that lullaby again
revisit childhoodÂ
an ultimate dream
living fully and dying without regret
in the land of my forefathers
a promise to myself
to be self contained and happy
and to value each day
a part of me
his happiness and sadness
remind me I am a mother
that prickly feeling
an intimate kiss,a breath of air
a missing heartbeat
a troubled mind
emotions running high
bear with me
