On a drizzly summer afternoon ,
he got lost in a known place,
where soft notes of cocoa butter and maple
perfumed her dusky skin
and a dimple adorned her coquettish grin,
where he savoured the euphoric surreal bliss
of getting high on her whiskey flavoured kiss
And in that abode , all his pangs of longing
did ephemerally quell
like parched earth drunk on first drops of rain
after a long dry spell
But just in a blink of an eye,
his sweet reverie broke into a heavy sigh
as he held a requiem for his long lost love
with a glass of whiskey in his hand
and a scent of petrichor hanging in the air.
