...Evanescence...

By Beautiful Incidental

Steady decadence leaves a lingering aroma that clings -
I can retreat to the backdrop and breathe it in - let it diffuse the lungs -
Enter the bloodstream...

Of course I remember - the salty sweetness that marked your skin -
The lines of muscle traced - fingertips - ice blue eyes - no disguise -
The ever-present urgency...

How you enchanted me.

Memories are brand marks - like the tattoo you insisted I portray -
Your irrevocable justification proves we've become the same -
Infinitely...

But I lack the tangible evidence of your existence -
Or am I to be the proof - your evolutionary plan -
We were a beautiful incidental...

Fascinatingly flawed...

Evanescent.
