What I'D Like To Give You Is An Ounce of My Perfume

fragrance of yesteryears distilled from heartache and joy

mixture of entropy and cohesion scented in hopeful aroma

	sweat from wanderlust of adventure

	tears from emotional advancement

	blood of hard work’s injuries over time

	fears contained and turned into vigour 

	petals ground into an effusion of love

a medley of rose-tinted lenses and reality’s patched spectacles

a truth serum of honesty kindness and unshakeable compassion

the knowledge that one’s perfume blends with compatible skin

	smell of freedom to mind our souls

	salve to soothe blisters and calluses

	tincture of longing and tangible peace

	composure of hard-won harmony at last

	array of butterflies collecting honey dew

just like myself you had to endure the stench of past injustice

tribulations trials errors betrayal and displeasure of suffering

have been hurt by flavoured malodour of other’s transgressions

had the dubious benefit of having to turn up your nose to escape

stink fetour and mere existence in order to synthesize essence

	balance of reason and heartfelt emotions

	waiting for yin yang seeking a perfect fit

	a mate best friend mirror spouse and lover

in sack cloth silk linen and satin sheets in a

bodouir graced by passion and pheromones

kisses of sweet pleasure rapture and satisfaction climax together

wet lips follow the path of mountains rivers splash and nurture

fan the flames in which fireside ashes mix with ember and warmth


in candour I have no magic potion until our perfumes merge into one
