Limited Edition
~~~~~*****~~~~~
You are the subtle perfume
I wear on me all day.
People look back when I pass;
perfect strangers,
sniff the air,
“What a marvelous scent.”
Does she apply it to her wrist?
Perhaps the pulse point
at her neck?
Why does the smell strengthen
with each beat of her heart?
What is this aroma,
that magically changes her
into the supernatural?
I remember when she,
was a clerk at the grocery store,
earned barely enough
to keep the cold away,
the nightmares at bay.
Now,
she is a mounted princess!
Look how she sways
and prances,
promoting this fragrance,
as if she designed it,
as if it were hers,
as if she were about
to become a millionaire.
because,
we all want it too.
She won’t share her secret.
When you ask her,
“What are you wearing?”
She only replies,
“Oh just a little special scent”

You’re welcome, Karima. It’s a beautiful poem. I love when you repost ones from long ago, is delightful. Ahhh, yes, indeed, I see it now. That’s so interesting when I consider my reflection and then the love you write about. When we are inspired and connected deeply to our inner-selves, I think love blossoms like beautiful flowers, this perfume is intangible, yet attractable. People are magnetized to this “scent”. What a lovely additional reflection. Thank you for creating this space, my dear friend. ❤️🤗🌹✨🌸💫

Don’t worry about repost, Karima. There are bloggers, who reblog their posts again and again. If there are four posts, three are reblogs. So leave them aside.
Coming back to your poem, this is as fragrant as the limited edition scent, exclusively portrayed by you. It can’t fade with time. Love and emotions are intangible, but felt for years together in the memories. So is the case with this poem. If not today, after twenty years, I’ll write something for you to read and recall. Thank you, Karima for sharing this beautiful aromatic poem 😊🤗💐🥀💖

Thank you dear Kaushal for allowing yourself to ‘succumb to its scent’ As I was saying to Veera, this is/was a favorite of mine in its time..and I am glad you think the years passing have not tarnished its effects. A good perfume can last for decades, I have one of my mother’s that must be 40 years old..when I take off the top..I still smell her:) Thank you dear friend for this beautiful comment and reflection.. I always love to read your thoughts..🙏❤️🌹🌷

It’s really my pleasure to read your work, Karima. Like your mother, I had brought 4 types of perfumes from Egypt in 2017. My son uses them, but sparingly. I don’t know how long he will preserve. 😊💐💖🙏
