Accidental Epiphanies

Others indulge in unwavering poetic symphonies, I get accidentally epiphanic.

You Smell Like Love

If love had a scent, 
it would smell like you.
Like your warm skin laced 
with cologne.

Your soft lips and 
generous pecks,
reminding me of 
sun-kissed beaches 
and morning dew.

Like your ruffled, damp hair 
after the shower;
and the coffee cup you 
left uncovered on the table.

Like your morning cuddles, 
kisses, and laughter;
and the warmth of your 
arms that held me after.

If love had a scent, 
it would smell like you.

    Love is in the air. The fragrance of your love can be felt here there and everywhere. 🚫 Every butterfly can get lucky to sit on the scented flower of love.
