Your Scent Haunts Me

Poetry Salvage reply to the Dark Gourd’s “New Beginnings”

Author’s Note: Inspired by The Dark Gourd’s IdeaStream “New Beginnings” 100 Word prompt: “A Smell That Stays with You.”

I remember the smell of your hair after you soaked in your lavender bath.

Back when we went up to the mountains for our romantic get-away. A fire in a cabin by the lake surrounded by redwoods was the perfect setting for our night of bliss.

I spent all night cuddled next your your sexy body. My nose in your beautiful long hair. Soaking in all of your scents.

Now that you’ve left, all the remains is the faint smell of your hair on my pillowcase. Every so often I wake up in the night thinking you are here.
