Juliet Ligon Poet Free verse

Signature Scent

Come to a place of enlivening comfort.
In this exotic garden, lift your lungs. 
Vanilla beans dangle from the vining orchid. 
A likeness of birthday cake baking
awakens adrenaline, 
as exciting and familiar as friends,
as smooth and creamy as silk.
Rustle sandalwood leaves between your hands.
Explore the bark's core, richness in depth. 
Breathe in a fresh, earthy, woody fragrance
like a hug from mother nature.
Lie down upon a pillow of lemongrass,
delectably relaxing in uplifting whiffs,
flowing tresses of citrus refreshment.
Let geranium leaves rain upon your face, 
brushes of femininity gently tickling, 
sweet and akin to rose's aroma.
As essential oils harmonize,
inhale the fragrance of my skin 
as pheromones rise for you.

Gershon Wolf March 16, 2021 at 6:11 PM What a delight for the senses you've created, Juliet. A veritable wonderland! Bravo, Gershon Gershon Wolf March 17, 2021 at 5:35 PM Hmm. You're a few millenia ahead of me, Julia. I've just come on to a new product. It's called soap. I combine it with water, and it cleans me. I smell better too. ~ Joe Biden's 'Neanderthal Man' lol. :) Juliet Ligon March 17, 2021 at 3:15 PM Thanks, Gershon. I've been making perfumes with essential oils and alcohol. This is a similar blend to what I wear. I have others with patchouli, cedarwood, and sweet orange in the mix.

Sigrid Ermine March 16, 2021 at 4:41 PM Hi Juliet. Concurring with Susan 's words, the appealing adventure you brought the reader on truly induced mouth watering. A difficult to describe sensation here executed with beauty. Juliet Ligon March 17, 2021 at 3:21 PM Thanks, Sigrid. It's difficult to describe scents. I wanted to go straight to the source.

Susan Ashley March 16, 2021 at 4:11 PM Dear Juliet, you've created a beautiful potpourri of poetry. A lovely garden of aromatherapy to lose oneself in. An enchanting escape! Warmest wishes.. ~Susan Juliet Ligon March 17, 2021 at 3:18 PM Thanks, Susan. There are so many wonderful scents to choose from that it was hard to decide, but being a gardener, I automatically thought of a garden's freshness.
