Memories In The Scent Of Night Poem by Jayita Bhattacharjee

As memories gather on my lips,
a song escapes in the breeze,
May this be the journey,
from my pen to your soul.
To speak of the moments,
etched deep in my heart,
So, I may paint those times
with a feast of colors.
May our souls meet,
the way the earth meets the sky
May the light kiss our hearts,
as the moon kisses the sky,
May you dissolve in me and I in you,
the way the river dissolves in the sea.

Every moment speaks deeply to me,
Flickering from the yesteryears.
O' Love, do the memories curl with pain,
that breaks the sky to tears?
Why do I feel the fount
streaming down my eyes?
Is this called love,
that makes music tonight?
O' Love, breathe in me tonight,
for in it I feel the breath of heaven.
