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! 13.7.22

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!
