Lover by Tanya Crochran

Lover

by Tanya Crochran

I am determined,

Focused.

I walk swiftly

Towards my destination.

My muscles

Rhythmically respond

To my brain's

Orders:

pump, flex, relax;

pump, flex, relax.

But

Then the wind changes,

I feel it

Slip through my hair.

It's fingers

Lift my chin

Towards the rushing

Atmosphere.

It cools my face.

My thoughts are rent from their

Sequence.

And I smell you.

I have forgotten

Until the air,

Sweet

With your fragrance,

Swallows my senses.

My will vanishes,

My muscles abandon their

commands.

And for an eternal second,

I inhale.
