Best Perfume Poems

My lips burning within longing 
to meet yours my dearest orchid 
I will never ever leave you
As in the softest touch commands obedience 
Breathtaking aroma a soul thirsty
drifting faraway when I close my eyes 
Nightly dreaming of you 

Inside a cotton breath 
each and every...

Halloween Night



Enter the perfume curiosity shop
For the inquisitive 
All perfume smells entwine
The aroma wakens the mind
Slowly binding into a smell to recollect 
Take a swish before slumber
Don’t awaken as I enter
Cast a spell over your body
Pour you into...

YOUR FAVOURITE PERFUME

I thought the yearning had ended
And I’d finally moved on.
The memories had faded,
In the months since you had gone.

Those dreams had been less frequent,

Your photograph was in a drawer,
Kept safely out of sight.

But today, in the department store,
I...

Cheap Perfume

Reflecting on his memories of a life in cheap hotels.
Remembering lies both heard and told and remembering all the smells.
Cheap cigars and cigarettes still linger in the room.
Still each night he recalls a hookers cheap perfume.

He thinks about the night they met and the...

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...

a bench with ornate arms and scrolling
bathed in shards of early light
inside four walls of climbing roses
grown entwined and trained to height.

within the silence of mid morning
perfumed heat that melts the hours
attracts the bees that prey and worship
on life's purple passion flowers.

how i love when lilac shrubs burst into bloom
awaking the world with bold perfume
generous endowed bouquets
melt away dull greys
bring to life
sunshine
banning strife
as we all rejoice
stirring feelings giving voice
announcing finally summer's here
lilac blooms bring us such long awaited cheer

Reflection - The Fragrance of Grace

Mail order catalogs seem to have the ability to procreate in my mailbox.  Just when I think I have rendered them infertile they give birth to multiple sets of quintuplets right under my nose as if by magic fertilization!...

blue is the heather in the air
its perfume a melody transported
to the edge of melancholy
when dark is the night
and you are but a memory
that lingers on my lips

She Dances in Her Blue Dress

She stands beneath shimmering clear soft lights 
in subtle beauteous of elegance. 
A faint glimmer sparks in her eyes ignites 
an idyllic aura anxious to dance.

She wears a flattering blue amorous 
of the shoulder, flounce sleeves, body-con dress.
Adorned honey ankle...
