we love the elusive

you are the sweetest, forgotten layer of a heady perfume-
which had clogged my senses, and threw me into realms
each a more confusing but delicious delirium-
and each step i took drew me closer to you,
and promise and a yearning so deep
it crept to my toes-
toes now nearing the brink-
of the last,
lingering,
vestiges of
you.
