Orange Blossoms




The scent of orange blossoms surround me and
I cannot help but think of you
Your long hair, awkward beauty, and whip smart intelligence
The way you could make any crisis of mine
Seem like a great adventure at the time
I ran circles around you
Trying to catch
Just a little of your light
I was amazed
How it radiated from you
How you didn't even try
It just came naturally
I miss the warmth of you
The knowing that you were there
The feeling that the world
Could crumble around us
And we would still stand tall
Shaking and laughing from the fall

  1. Amber, that is surely one of the most beautiful poems i have ever read. read it twice in a row. zeroes in on the experience you were trying to capture like a laser beam and then disperses it like the mist from a vintage perfume bottle.
