Syllables

you linger in the folds of my memory
like the scent of rain on dry earth
intense
fleeting
yet eternal
your touch a whisper against my skin
echoes in the quiet of my solitude
where warmth and longing entwine
and even now
I taste the syllables of your laughter
a sweetness I can’t name
but ache to savor again
