Notes About The Poem

Bring Me Home

What I'd like to give you, is an ounce of my cologne...

       As your wish is my command. Are you already seduced by
    It's sweet aroma? Your soul somersaulting with celestial bliss?
               Then consider it a parting gift, my dear friend, 

           Because...because; gosh, it pains me to inform you; 
         It's been great fun; this is probably our final goodbye, 
                  So I want you so hold on to a piece of me. 

 The whiff of my cologne is something to always remember me by...

               Draw it ever so slowly into your breath; savor it
       While it lasts. When the sandalwood scent eventually fades,
             I desperately hope the seed of remembrance sown

         Within you sprout into a toweringly mighty redwood tree.
       Oh, may you never forget! Bring me home; keep me caged
              Inside the warm dungeon of your heart and mind!
