For conquests of smells that are plain stench,
Keep cornering perfumes of The French:
I’d seen an animated advance
Towards a wide range of these perfumes
By seekers of a classic fragrance
Like police dogs towards picked up fumes,
Their waiting covers quickly remove
And with long sniffs their excellence prove…
Yet, this does a lot confuse The Nose
And tires all wires to it close;
I’d choose to not fool The Olfactory
To home dash with The Satisfactory.
Be warned one’s True Yes might be later
One’s final judgment to wait and wait…
Quest for perfumes a search for image
Rarely I glimpsed one in the village;
Men they’d grab or their company,
More of them spray and they’ll be many.

I am someone who likes a nice smell
To those who know me
This I will tell
I find it exciting
To be caught by surprise
By a beautiful scent
It can mesmerize
Not all scents are great
Some you will hate
That is life
No need for debate
Aftershaves and perfumes
Developed to allure
They appeal to our sense of smell
And leave us wanting more
They draw us in
Excite and awaken
Tease and please
That is their expertise
What do you like
Spicy or sweet
Musky or floral
Depending on your views
You will choose
Either way
Remember each day
No harm in a little spray

O poder dos Perfumes
Odores e perfumes
têm um poder de persuasão
mais forte do que palavras,
aparências,
emoções
ou vontade.
AH!
o poder persuasivo
de um cheiro
não pode ser evitado,
entra em nós
como a respiração
em nossos pulmões,
nos enche,
nos impregna totalmente.
AH!
O poder dos cheiros!
Não existe como evitar.

Wicked wind hammering on doors and windows,
Trying to storm in while we lay on a green bed,
My left hand under your head, and
My right hand embracing you.
Your ebony breasts flapped like a pair of vanilla pods
From Madagascar,
Slapping me with the sandy flames of Sahara.
You open your casket of perfumes,
A mysterious fumigation defying traditions of smells, blanketing
Us with misty fragrance, and I prepare my burial in your arms,
Burning an aged incense to prove my existence.
Rivers converging in your wild hips, and
I oar my wheel with creaks and sighs.
Do not be angered, my love, by the shrieks of a mocking bird,
For it too is calling its mate before the moon fades away.
We should be busy bathing our love with spikenard sweats
From my hills and
Ylang-ylang juice from your beloved Comoros washing your
Ruddy countenance
While your bewildered eyes reach a point of no return,
And I inhale the musky evaporation from your jar
Overflowing with newborn perfumes.
My love, let us write poems with perfumed words
And scent the curses of veneering poets to venerate poetry.

Bright Marguerites,open and ablaze,
Reflected in a sunny haze.
Lilies waxed in a summer light,
A Jasmined fragrance to fill the night.
Perfumed petals,paper-white
Intoxicate,then delight;
Speaking volumes with words un-heard
Silent,flowers upon which all senses merge.

SPRING’S PERFUMES
Oh, to be in East Lansing
Now that spring is there !
And to see the view entrancing
And drink cool Miller beer.
To be in East Lansing’s main street,
Downwind of the rubber-tire plants:
And smell the aromas sweet
Of the vulcanized implants !
If post mortem I can return,
In the style of reincarnation,
To watch the plunging sofas burn
As they fall down to the car nation,
My second life will be fulfilled
When I smell the aromas and see
The rubber from the sofas spilled
Across the sidewalk around me.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
NOTE
Those readers interested in burning sofas may like to read my entire "burning sofa" period of poetry. Look for the three titles :
1 Reasons to Throw Things out of the Window
2 East Lansing Strikes Back
3 The Meteor Sofa People
