the essence of you

the essence of you

.

Fragrances come and go
While your scent lingers
Breathing new life
like a paramedic
mouth to mouth, soul to soul

For you are a potpourri of aromas
A bouquet of love poems
Enchanting my senses
A whiff of romance
On a starry night in June

You are the perfume
Resuscitating my heart
As I breathe love
Every time I inhale
The essence of you

  1. Hi TLAB. Beautiful poem! I wanted to let you know that somehow on some wordpress blogs I can only give likes or follow inside the reader and not directly on your blog. So far it happens with those blogs that have personalized names like yours. Wanted to let you know.

  2. Okay.

    Officially read every word you’ve written.
    On the blog, I mean.

    But I am not a psycho.
    I promise.
    Just a fan.
    See, that’s me waving at you from the sea of adoring fans.
    😉

      1. I would not push my way to the front because I hate to compete. I don’t like to fight for attention, lol.
        I would let the crowd disperse then wait at the back for you to see me waiting for you.

        Don’t know why I am enjoying that image so much!

  3. Hello friend! I’ve returned and you are not here. It saddens me to read your words which poured out of your heart and soul, but your spirit is gone. Hope you will return soon. Pray you are well. A friend who misses your melody through word, Lidia

  18. You’ve returned from the depths of who knows where, my friend! I know I liked this post before but not sure if I commented. Beautifully done, I think essences have the power to bring back a memory of a person or event much more forcefully than anything else. So happy to see you are here! I’ve missed your writing…

    1. Trying to return. LOL . Between the blog comments that keep coming in and all the blog reading I try to do, I never catch up.

      Thanks Linda. That was my mini rant. (Hey, I still can’t believe you were in Philly, too sweet a gal for that city).

    1. I had a sudden opportunity to go on a long road trip traveling through the entire eastern coast of the United States. It happened so quickly, I didn’t have a chance to make an announcement as I usually do. Thanks for reaching out. I tried to do a little blog reading, but it was hard cause of the long hours on the road.

      Hope you are well. Spreading your positivity and sunshine no doubt. Will catch up with you soon. Thanks my friend.

          1. It was a good time to tour New England. The sites can be pretty amazing and remarkable. I love the color changes in the trees. I lived in New England when I was younger, but honestly do not miss it much!!

  34. I love this! My hubby always teases me about catching whiffs of this scent or that (esp with food!) He said I must’ve been a bloodhound in my past life. Or a polar bear. Or a shark 😖😂
