LOVE
"One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life. The word is love."
Sophocles, Greek Poet
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am the perfume full caught by the breeze,
Amorous fragrance drifting through the air -
Attar of roses soft borne on the wind,
Night-scented stock, a comforting prayer
Essence of jasmine and sweet columbine
Is scattered all around me as I breathe -
Honeyed gardenia and scented sweet pea
Comforting all broken hearts that doth grieve.
I am the treasure your senses desire,
Perfume in floral, blossomy displays
Carried above as pure redolent air -
The cologne in cherished bridal bouquets.
I dwell in fair gardens bringing delight
To lighten all hearts each day and each night
