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. ** for Jared Pickett's 'The Rondel' contest Can someone advise, are Rondel and Rondeau the same? Thanks :)
