Best Scent Poems

The scent of your soul

a caramalized breeze of fruit odours

reverbrating softly through my memory

Throwing me right back in ninth grade 

where we sat side by side

Your right arm reaching slightly for my back

Your  name resonates gently with my spirit

as thoughts of you dwell in...

Coffee bean scent still fills the air

with each new sunrise in our log cabin

My arms around me embrace the winds of winters gone

Every sky-night the glass -pane glows in silent mist

Lunar limbs stream through bedroom blinds

reflecting shadows on empty sheets

Star clusters shine'bove velvet shores

Sand-wish away...

In my arms secure I delicately brush back your hair,
Touch your skin almost imperceptibly  
Your eyes vanish into mine.
I feel miraculously lost in your splendor...

but...

it is the scent of your soul...

In my arms guarded you graze my lips with slender fingers
Kiss my body, soothingly knead...

a rose is a rose
though bent by the spiteful wind
some petals are lost
its fragrance has not lessened
beauty changes but remains

its essence the same
yet overlooked, you pass by
touching another
perfection your objective
you forget time's truthfulness

beauty is fleeting
roses were not meant to last
yet this bleeding rose
pummeled and bent,...

The scent of your feelings clings 
To the fabric of my dreams
It never leaves….it lingers
Lingers
Permeating everything
The scent of your feelings
Envelopes me

The fragrance of gardenia
When you are tender, sweet
Gentle and serene 
Tranquility showing through
In the gardenia scent of you

Seducing scent of jasmine
Surrounds you like an aura
Heavy,...

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...

Sunlit days I spent on the moor
Sweet Summer heather scents allure
Bathing in waves on Dublin's shore
Aye, Irish lore       Aye, Irish lore

Crumbling castles on exhibit
Pricey ticket;  warm day visit
Guinness stout without a limit
Tastes exquisite    Tastes exquisite

Stung...

heave bursts from lips can both injure or heal
harsh words strike deep the bayonet’s metal
while kind words stroke soft as a rose petal
floral scent~ gardener’s sweeter appeal

in the lonely fields of poems past I roam
and linger on the fragrant flowers sweet
the comments left all decorate this "home"
where all is love, and every post a treat

I read what others had to say to me
how some extolled and others simply teased
I sometimes long...

There's a fresh scent in the air.
Like those of cherry blossoms in spring.
The air, carries the truth,that life will once again be fair.
Get ready to head the freedom bell ring!


All it takes is the unquenchable desire to be free!
To do whatever it takes,to pen about...

I always catch the scent
of my Beloved. How can I
help but follow that fragrance?"
