fragrances bring back memories,
certain smells can bring back a smile.
aromas make your noses twitch,
walk in anticpation...the extra mile
smells of home made cooking,
be it plain white rice or some baking
brings backs memories of a mothers love
wholesome, appetising, and no faking
and then there are those other fragrances,
with a special meaning to each woman
the manly clean smell of my man,
the feeling safe, with such a good human.
the smell of lemon peels is heady
makes me feel so fresh and clean
so many different perfumes heady and sensuous
make an ordinary woman, feel like a queen
the clean sweet smell pf pine trees
mixed with the heady smell of roses
the smell of the grass beneath my feet
does really stimulate our noses
the intoxicating smell of a baby
baby talcum mixed with warm milk
no scent like the the scent of a baby
no softness, like the skin soft as silk
the scent of my beloved when he is away,
I just have to burrow my nose in his coat
memories sensile and tactile,
come flooding through, and bring a lump to my throat
the smell of the newly washed earth
as it succumbs to a washing by the rain,
is enough to lift you sky high...
exhilarate you, and wash away your pain.
and when your are troubled and pensive,
light an incense and meditate on the Lord,
experience thegentle uplifting of your spirit
feel thepeace, feel him strike the spiritual chord
fragrances are so very special,
each with its own meaning and content,
what would a world be without fragrance
what would our world be without that familiar scent?
