A Sweet Scent
Never turn down
A gift of perfume;
You are a good fragrance to me:
I ignore it when it is around me:
I miss it when you are far away from me;
And I would never wash
Any pant you have worn.
It is no wonder you are Godsent,
God scented my life with you;
Which was nothing but
A stinking grave, hopeless at love and lost;
Yeah, you smell so good,
Even your kiss is nothing but musk.
My distress come from living without you,
Yearning for your scent;
Even for that I fell back then;
When you gave me your night dress;
And it laid on my pillow;
And it is that fragrance that
Has never deceived my senses,
A sweetness that covers me.
Your fragrance is sweet and
Your insides are sweeter tender;
I thank God He chose you for me,
Your fragrance rubs on to me;
It has rubbed on to me all these years;
Without you I am like an adult infant;
Yearning for it's lover's scent.
