I still remember
The unerasable scent of
His essence –
Warm caramel and rosewater,
On that rainy night,
Just like this one,
When our naked bodies
Melted beautifully into the
Moonlit sky.
I still remember him,
The boy with the universe
In his eyes
And how he tamed my demons
So effortlessly, with his arms
And unmasked my being
When he said:
"It must be so gruelling,
Having so much love
But no one deserving enough
To bask in it."
