A Warm Embrace

By Rajashree Labhesh Mahajan

I looked at it

Hanging there in elegance

His jacket in blue

Giving me a warm embrace

With the scented clue

Blushing in red

I sniffed around it

Like a memory itched on mind

Making my heart pound

Rose the aroma of his cologne

Shivering in sweets

I remembered

The fragrance of his love

A smell of his skin

N longing for the affectionate hug

A mild escape

From my clouded brains

A familiar musk of his lining

With vibes of homecoming

Comforting my melancholic nerves

Nostalgia of moments

Created before my eyes

As I hugged passionately

The essence of him

Forever ingrained in the fabric..
