i will return
says the perfume
a promise in a
bottle of midnight
blue ….
today for the sake
of old times
she wore it anew
with a pledge
its fragrance is lasting
it lingers ….
yes it lingers for you …
green floral
with a hint of narcissus
and a touch of English rose
I suppose she is saying
something as old as
the Malvern Hills
here for all time
refreshed
drenched in summer’s rain
where there is love
patient darling
there is also pain
