The Smell of Roses

As I hold you,
a faint fragrance of roses,
real or imagined, captures me.


Images of you blossom
in my mind…
  the brightness of your smile
      the lilting sound of your voice
        the warmth of your arms
the pleasure of lying beside you. 

The soft passion of holding
you warms my heart
with an intimacy borne
of unity of love.

Each embrace is a new
beginning and love blooms
again.
