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. . Peter Dome©2021.

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!
