Ode To A Memory

last wafts linger ~ a letter tucked away

a kiss, lush ruby red
cotton weave impressed
a calligraphy of infinity

auburn streaks brushed
an ivory tone, attuned
a silken touch, to feel

thumps turn to melt
fingers bare in fear
pare parched, precious air

mists dew, a chestnut hue
midnight drifting clear
memory, her, standing near

thoughts written, clearly meant
lost connections, never sent
