.
Once,
so long ago now, it seems;
Every thing touched
& everywhere
that I turned,
her scent permeated
both air & skin.

This lands like memory that never fully left the room, still hanging in the air even after the moment has gone.
There’s a quiet, aching beauty in how it lingers—minimal words carrying a deep, persistent echo.
that hnag time is quite good when needed and a true ache on other occasions. Thanks kindly, dear Thomas 🙏🕊️
much enjoyed my friend
Good write A.
Glad of that friend 🙏🕊️
arqios, this really moved me…the way it holds onto presence through something as subtle as scent. It feels intimate and lasting…like memory woven into both space and self. It lingers in the best way. Beautifully written, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Would hate to have it linger a different way, which it has in the case of PTSD. But mostly it's been good. I think the brain erases or cloaks what it thinks it has to protect us from. Thank you, amigo mio 🙏🕊️
So much love in so few lines. Nicely written!
Thanks for confirming the goal was achieved here. Most grateful dear Salvia. 🙏🕊️
As certain Aromas can bring thoughts of Childhood or other events in your life.

An excellent certitude for those aware. Thanks, Kevin 🙏🕊️
Smells can trigger so many memories Rik.
