Uncommon Good Scents

Neville

Uncommon Good Scents

 

although I can

   no longer smell it on you,

I know it must

still be there, because it

   always lingers so ..

like early morning spring

   mist, lingers ..

suspended like the scent

of so many

wild flowers, in the quiet

stillness of

   fresh still, moistened air ..

and though I can

   no longer taste you either ..

I know you

   must be somewhere near ..

because I sense

   your presence everywhere ..

the way I did,

   when you were always here ..

              You would have more than a passing knowledge, Neville of the way the olfactory organs take a smell and transmit it to the brain (or something like that)
              All I know is that smells long ago experienced, when re-presented evoke incredibly rich memories.
              So on that basis you’ve given us a rich piece of poetic memorabilia.

                in spite of the years of abuse I subjected my olfactory's to .. what with nicotine n stuff, they are still as keen today (almost) as they were when I worked for a Swiss Chemist making flavourings and aromatics out of guess what, .. chemicals .. anyway, I couldn't agree more with your deduction as stated above and thank you for an ever so kind and superbly reasoned review .. cheers .. Neville

                • Neville



                  Thankyou so much Teddy .. you may be closer than even I imagine .. I'm sure it was writ on autopilot .. 🌹
