The Scent of Roses

 

it wasn't a fresh breeze

that swept through her hair

and coated her skin

twined around her feet

wound up her legs

and buried itself in her heart

it was the scent of roses

she put a hand to her face

amazed to find tears

she walked her bones

heavy with truth

Scents infuse our souls and bring back memories that you once
thought slipped away...

Always,

An exquisite rendering Carole. The scent of roses, pervasive, filling the heart with love fueling the soul with passion. May peace and love be always with you my dear friend. Jon Michael

Love this, Carole. Perfectly encapsulates the je-ne-sais-quoi of that heavenly lush scent that, yes, gives weight to the bones and an exquisite heaviness that is intoxicatingly love-lorn and latent with longing. xx

I am picturing someone at a funeral who is suddenly overcome by the smell of roses and grief.

I enjoyed reading your lovely poem today, the verses gave a very descriptive version of what she had experienced the hurt and pain
that she can smell when she think about the scent of roses. Well- written poem.

Yep. Been there. Done that. Regrets I've had a few. All those cliches. I used to wonder why most of my memories were bad ones, and I came to think they were because of me. That I was a large part responsible for them, but lately I've come to the conclusion that other people had their share of responsibility for making them bad.
