It's been a while ...

Shit. I totally forgot that i changed this template. I miss my old one! Not even sure I can find the old one again :-( *** Update - found it!

So I clearly haven't been here in a while but that's cos I lost all inspiration to write. I cant even say I had writer's block, I wasn't even trying. Every now and then someone still noseys around here or asks why I haven't written in a while. So this one is dedicated to my SAGE friend who berated me a few days ago. I was making my way home when this guy walked past me and his perfume just stirred something in me ... :-).

It inspired me to write something for the first time in too long. Unfortunately I didn't have my notebook with me (and spent a frustrating hour tearing through my bedroom looking for it - to no avail) so this came out slightly different than it sounded in my head. I will probably rewrite it again soon. It reminds me of something I wrote aeons ago as well so hopefully I'm not reiterating/plagirisng myself. Which reminds me, I really need to move all my old poetry to this page. Advice - after a long stretch of not writing, don't re-read your old stuff. It's quite intimidating when you compare how good you were and how easy it was to the crap you're about to churn out. Ok enough. Enjoy.

I caught the scent of him today
Don't even remember which him.
Something about that smell
Evoked memories faded into nostalgia with time.

The scent of crisp white laundered sheets
Sticky spicy sweaty nights
Rolling around in freshly mown lawns
Tightly wrapped arms
On a salty ocean breeze.

I remember being happy,
And smile back to my now.
