Loves Fragrance

The fragrance she wore in her hair
Jasmine in disheveled disarray
So I grew her fragrance one day
On my  minds inner wall display
Catching her scent as if a wind 
Followed me inside to make way
Running with open hair she knew
I held her in my mind’s eye view
Her perfume flowing everywhere
Awakening my senses like morning dew
I closed my eyes and there were you
I followed you through the corridors
Never stopping on any flow of my mind
 Till you entered the chamber you started
out to find
And imprinted your fragrance in each corner
That became a bouquet inside my heart
And there your fragrance I carry till I depart!

Carol, you always write so beautifully of love and this is no different. Scent is one of the strongest promoters of memory. Love the last line. Thank you for this lovely perfumed garden of poetry. Blessings!
