Bring Me Home

Today back when

What I'd like to give you is

A subtle heady mix of perfume and cologne

Before or just incase my mind and
recognitions fail me

Based purely on my childhood memories 

Of what my mother and father's 
actually smelled like to me

Which was embedded and infused into the 
threadbare carpets born out over time inside
our family home

That once I was eventually forced into
finally replacing 

Was then lost in time forever unable to return

Wishing although brand new later I never
had to replace

Because something new never will be able
to evoke the sensibility of the past

And once it's finally gone ever able to replace

As something you simply took for granted
as a certain scent or smell

No 1 else on this earth possesses but them

Like mum retuning home from a long
hard 12 hour shift from the hospital
where she once nursed breezing bye

With an aromatic blend of industrial
detergent and cigarette smoke

And dad embedded with what can only
be described as electricity and T.C.P

Garnered from the tubes that we're the
main component in the back used to
power old t.v sets

Is what every night I pray to dream

Following whichever comes first mother's
perfume or dad's cologne

Bings me home

And may I also take this opportunity of thanking you 
Oh Mystic 

For making me take the time to
stop and smell the sweet scented
rose's of my past once again

And for reminding me just how truly blessed
and grateful I should be
