The Essence Within

The smell lingers here…

It is true it’s too cliche,

but it’s there, the smell of fear.

Everything lingers now

without why or even a how.

It just does.

Even though it sucks

The warmth lingers too,

afraid it might not come back,

so it grips hard,

afraid still more of any crack,

that would compromise it’s hold.

What lingers more though

is every heart beat.

Trying to impress more and more..

The pulse clings to the heart.

It’s holding so tight,

so fiercely, it’s fighting..

Like a rose petal,

that is about to break apart,

from the rose itself,

the essence of its existence.

Yet so lovely without any pretences,

with just mild resistance.
