Love's Sillage

Your dance is majestic.
How an eagle glides through the sky,
in the same way, you float with your barefoot
barely touching the grass.

I follow the trail of the sound of your voice
how a ship navigates the ocean, lost in the storm
guided only by the light from your bright eyes.

A breath of your love fills my tired lungs,
You let yourself be inhaled in one pleasant smell,
I am alive. I can feel the scent of the ocean’s breeze,
All I have to do is breathe.

A strong perfume like a powerful cocktail of memories
invade the old room, an aphrodisiac fragrance.
I inhaled into my soul this exquisite aroma,
and I exhaled my eternal love to you.

Over the sad piano
hangs in a frame your beautiful picture,
In the air still lingers your divine flavor
as a bouquet of fresh roses.
Everything around gives off your scent,
even the stillness.
I miss you so much.
