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

Well you kind of just took my breath away. Absolutely beautiful that touch of an English rose will forever be inside you my dear poetess. 🌹
Thank you for your warm and encouraging words Teddy. Have a wonderful Sunday dear poet. 💐
With you on love poetry. A sudden scent, fragrance can evoke (and has) a memory definitely not forgotten, just filed, from years back.
Your poem served as that scent in absentia.
Thank you so much DD for your review. Pleased my scented words evoked a lovely memory. Have a great Sunday.
I'm 'Dave', Cassie and if you behave, I'll be back....LOL.
Is that a promise Dave lol.
Beautiful write.

patient darling
there is also pain'

Thank you so much Andy. Pleased you enjoyed this poem. Have a lovely day.
At last .. I'm in .. just wanted to let you know I came by earlier (well yesterday actually) but was unable to leave even a trace of myself behind .. except for a like .. I was the first to leave a like .. and that by the way was a massive understatement .. my personal very most favouwritest scent in the whole wide world perfumedly wrapped up in a love poem .. most assuredly one of the best and what's more, you may never truly know how much my senses were tickled .. am tempted to sniff the screen .. thank you for posting Neville 💜
Sadly my inefficiency at navigating this site on my phone has managed to lock others out too Neville. So pleased your senses were tickled.and I thank you for such a warm review. I have a bottle of this perfume on my dressing table. I might even wear it today. Make sure your day is happiness filled dear friend. 💜
Your poem is a beautiful reflection on memory, love, and the enduring nature of emotions. The imagery of perfume as a promise, with its lingering fragrance, is powerful and evocative. The mention of specific scents like narcissus and English rose adds a sensory depth to the poem. Wonderful!
Thank you Cloie for such a beautiful review. I really appreciate you stopping by.
That beautiful scent still lives in the memories, doesn't it?
Thank you so much for commenting. Yes the scent has special significance. So pleased you stopped by.
Great work. Nice use of the senses.
Many thanks Thomas for stopping by.
Absolutely true.. Great write.
Many thanks for stopping by John. All the best.
I love the way this is written without a specific narrator as if a unfaced voice is speaking form the beyond. The imagery is wonderful and the ending sublime
Thank you for such a wonderfully positive review. Delighted you enjoyed this poem.
All the best:)
