The Italian Scarf

C and K WordsLeave a comment

Yellow roses adorn an Italian scarf given to her by her mother.

The scent of roses in summer lingers on the breeze of her homeland.

Spring comes to the old land to take the winter from her again.

Something found and now lost, as the scent reminds her of love.

The scarf moves about her in the breeze as she says goodbye.

She remembers the scented perfume of the roses as she thinks of her lost homeland.

For Emma

Touching the coffee table
Vacuuming the floor
Walking to the laundry
Sitting on the lounge

The memories of you
a mist within the house
The thoughts of you
a ghost kept by my side

The absence of your paws
a sadness in the shape of tears
Sleeping between us in bed
a dream of you here and there

Touching a photograph of you
wishing Emma all our love
The ghost of you, please linger
until we both find you again
