you smell like.... <br />your skin, your hair, <br />your gentle touch; <br />your eyes that have loved, <br />and lost many a battle. <br />your fierce heart wrapped <br />around your children, your dogs. <br />your sadness weeping <br />with every step you take. <br />your ashes remembering fire, <br />your fire that burned down, <br />sweeping away all that was, <br />and dared to be... <br />your dancing soul crippled <br />by shadows that haunt. <br />your wings of flesh and feather... <br /> <br />you smell like... me!<br /><br />Eric Cockrell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-smell-like/
