Swept Me Off My Feet

Today I tried to clean my drawers

Discard the things I need no more

The old and underused

The cold and the refused

So tenuously wed

Dull memories in my head


And as I flung them from my drawers

They drifted sadly to the floor

Waving on their flight

Whispering goodbye

Hoping I would stall

Tempting my recall


And as I watched my history fall

A scent arose to call

And took me back in time

And swelled inside my mind


Swept me off my feet

Swept me off my feet

Swept me off my feet


And in this vision I was caught

Tossed and tumbled like a cork

Feeling what was said

Tasting how I bled

Detached and still aware

Teased on scented air


And as I watched my history fall

A scent arose to call

Took me back in time

Swelled inside my mind


Swept me off my feet

Swept me off my feet

Swept me off my feet


My feet
