The Scent of You
The scent of you still lingers on
within the soul of each new day;
evocative, my thoughts replay
the times we shared, now sadly gone.
You were my star, you brightly shone
to warm the hours when life was grey.
The scent of you still lingers on
within the soul of each new day.
The soft white shirt of yours I don
still wears a hint of your bouquet.
In death, some things cannot decay,
and of those things your soul is one;
the scent of you still lingers on.

Can someone advise, are Rondel and Rondeau the same? Thanks :)
