Linger my Sweet Tamarind Queen

Your scent has faded from my bed
And lingers on only in my head

A memory now for a lover's thoughts
Of worries and love's me naughts


And in the cold dawn 
I pray, Why have you gone?


Already, distant is your tender kiss
Which I so dearly miss
But now your perfume
That once lingered in our room
Has faded into the cold air
Leaving just a blank empty pillow there

Dreams now saturate
That we had to separate
And for a short while in my domain
You scent did remain

As you took your leave
The house did breathe
And with that frittered
What should have lingered

Leaving me alone to wonder
When my love shall recover
The memories lost to that theft
Leaving my bed bereft
Lonesome
and Numb

Linger this time 
Lay a bit longer with me

Take the time
To exude your love
Deep into the air around you
So that when you wander 
However far from my grasp
That I may feel your bite 

As I bury my face 
Deep into the pillow upon which 
You are the crown

Loved by that hopeless foolish clown
