My Muse
Feb 25, 2006
How do I know you are with me?
The same way I know
There are flowers in the room
Before I ever see them
The same way I enjoy a cool breeze on my face
By closing my eyes
Your scent is as familiar to me
As evergreen at Christmas
Or fresh mown grass on a warm summer’s day
Your essence aerates in my throat
As would coriander and ginger, with a hint of musk
You come to me on my breath
And fill my senses with your presence
You come into my blood
And flow through my heart like molten light
How do I know you are with me?
I know just as surely as I know I am alive!
- How Do I Know P. F. Kozak
