Rabid - Reminders

Passing thru a crowd
I smell your scent
in the hair of a stranger.
Lying on the beach
I see an ankle pass by
slender as yours
kicking up the sands of forgotten times.
In the rustle of the leaves
I hear a voice that whispers
"come here" like you used to.
In my office
a hand brushes mine
in the course of business
soft and gentle like yours
reminding me of your special way.
The sunlight tricks me into thinking
"hey - everythings ok -
life is bright and shining."
But then the evening shadows
begin to crawl on the walls
and what used to be
the romantic time
of my life
has become the darkened dungeon,
the evil haunting,
of a night
devoid of you.
