Pages old
Flip, one after another,
Thin, yellowed,
Scents vary, not just vanilla
...
For this is a book
Not at all ordinary
Though if you look
But one of many
...
This is a story
But not just any
My story
One and only
...
Upon its parchment
Black ink spills
Flows across in fluid movements
In scrawling cursive
...
The colour changes
According to my weather
Ink hues ranges
Blazing red to gentle lavender...
Indigo.. like a bruise..
..During my blues
Deep maroon..
...Submerged in rue
Orange bright..
..Happy and bubbly
And when everything's alright
A blue light, like the sky..
...
All these hues brief
Never lasting
Returning to stifling grief
Flat, black; oppressing
...
Despite the beauty
Compressed between the pages
Crushed scents many
Preserved for the ages
...
The occasional wafting
Of elusive scents
Redolent of a past drifting
Out of reach, already spent...
..Roses red, black, pink..
Sweet and lovely..
..Cozy shop in Japan..
Woodsy, and lavender heady..
..Night by seas..
Winds fresh, taste salty..
..Teashop in China..
Fragrance in china fancy..
..Places faraway..cannot compete..
To home, with scents homely..
..Cakes in the oven baking..
Mouth-watering..
..Hot drinks on days rainy..
The comforting aromas of tea and coffee..
...
Despite all these
There's something missing in my life
I had adopted a need to please
In an attempt to feel alive
...
Instead what I've done
Is to trap myself
I don't belong
Yet fitting in everywhere, fake a different self
...
I know not when exactly
The answer I've found
But I'm finally happy
Heart content and sound
...
I've found where I belong
With whom, to be exact
You, my love; my home
This, I know for a fact
...
Upon the parchment
A page new
Newfound contentment
Colours grew
...
Pulsing ink spills
With bright hues
Though there is black still
They only underscore a love true
...
The words glow with a light
Never-before seen
Dancing in delight
In scrawling cursive
Spurred on by love bright
