Written for: Poets United Midweek Motif~Perfume (posted by Sanaa)
“Your task today is to write a new poem that revolves around the idea of perfume. Feel free to take the subject in whichever direction that suits you i.e romantic, solemn, philosophical, dark etc.”
Perfume is like cocktails without the hangover, like chocolate without the calories, like an affair without tears, like a vacation from which you never have to come back. ~ Marian Bendeth
I soak in jasmine
and orange blossoms,
bursts of bergamot,
and lingering scents
of amber, musk, patchouli.

My perfume is my signature,
my inner core of sexuality.
Come closer.
A beautifully fragrant poem.

Come closer.
Whiffs of a particular aromatic feel will be identified by those close to you even with eyes closed. Yes, perfumes have that effect
