The essence of perfume

From honeysuckle to daffodils

I know them all too well

I smell them as I'm on the road

or strolling along a stream

A silent rose, a whisper soft

endearing as it seems, create

such love, unheard of - the

essence of perfume

So close I am to discover

what is it that is love

too far I am to experience

the richness of it all

When time afloat as riverboats

glide calmy through thick waters

I sometimes wonder what it's like

to be dearly loved as no other
