Perfume Scented Letters

Perfumed Scented Letters.
.
Perfumed scented letters
Written in ink with such depth of emotion
And intense devotion
Flowing from the fountain of the heart
With so much gratitude warmth and affection
And forever love yet so far apart
A sweetheart bares her heart and soul
Like welcomed sunlight upon a winters day
But with heavy heart
For her love so far away
.
Tears fall like raindrops
And blur the elegant written lines
Another scrunched up discarded letter
Written at least ten times
.
Illuminated by candle light
She tries to write throughout the night
Trying to write with a more happier refrain
And hold back the tears 
With her heart in so much pain
.
Eventually the letter is written
Enclosed a photo of herself for her love
To put in his pocket next to his heart
And a pressed flower picked
From a summer bejewelled lush meadow 
They’re secret meeting place
Where their love did start
.
She seals the letter with a loving kiss
And breaths out a sigh
Why did he have to go away
With little time 
To say goodbye
.
A moment alone with a pause of the rage of hell
 Her love love clings on to those precocious memories
Through his sweethearts words
And the scent of her loves sweet perfume
He loved and knew so well
.
Many miles and waves between them
Keeping the apart
But never ever forgotten
Always in prayers thought 
And heart.
.

Hello Peter I sense that she was written a love letter to a solider she met and they love each other. So she kept in touch by writng a love letter to him. She misses him so she feel a bit teary eye because he is not with her. So sad. Enjoy your day my friend. x

Nostalgic, in as writing is now passé with our motor skills shifting to tapping the keyboard! A beautiful, moving love poem, indeed!
