Perfume

I swear i want to remember the way you smelled
The taste of your lips
That perfume that made me crazy
But it's long overdue that you left
And no trace of you has stayed

The perfume sometimes can be far more pleasant than the person. Rather have that linger than bad company.

Perfumes can also be a wonderful reminder of those we have loved who have passed on. I love it when I catch the scent of both my grans.

I have had this happen, wanted the scent to stay, not the person.

I do understand the poem. The smell of perfume and the quiet house. Leave us wishing for things we cannot have. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

You are welcome my dear friend.

There are times that writing can reveal so much of the artist's soul. We display ourselves nakedly in words, scars and all. It truly is a form of bravery in our art form. This is wonderful writing and heartfelt, as a reader I can empathize with the words and meaning behind them. Thank you for sharing your poem. And whatever you do in life never stop writing, it is a journey we take for the remainder of life.

Indeed so my friend.
That's why i would consider poems to everyone. It's the mirror of the soul.
