Fulcrum of a Rose

A hurried scent. 
An essence, but more-
And more tingling. 
The wind changes direction. 
Yet, the smell remains. 
Always rosy. 
Blooming, and evolving smell. 
If I entered a tomb-
The smell would be stale. 
But someone left a rose perfume in the tomb. 
That I can’t help but spray all over. 
All over cobwebs and darkness. 
Some monster living in this dark tomb slipped out. 
While I’m twirling, dancing, and spraying. 
A hurried scent.
But the molecules of rose smell covered the fur and dust he left behind. 
A little monster smell…
Just makes the rose essence grow.
