The Scent Of You: Strung Haikus

Scents 

Haiku: Japanese poem that contains 17 syllables,broken up into three lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables


lost inside myself,

long after i'd given up,

i still search for you...



longing for your scent

to freshen, fall tenderly

on my barren heart.



thence i simply wait,

neither chasing nor running

but simply breathing;


that I may capture

that quaint, unmistakable,

 precious smell of you.
