                Chanel No. 5

                you knew her in many ways,
                by her stride, her laugh, nothing to hide
                you loved it when she passed near
                absolutely oblivious of you
                her scent wafting through the night’s air

                        Chanel No. 5 floating

                she could have been yours
                she would have been yours
                you waited too long
                danced the wrong song
                bought the wrong perfume

                                Chanel No. 5 weaving

                in white dress she undulates
                never does she hesitate
                toward the he who captured her gaze
                there, in twilight’s haze
                passed by you as if in a daze

                                        Chanel No. 5 longing

                you can still sense her perfume
                as she softens in his gaze
                and cascades into his eyes
                as if they were alone in the room
                there, in twilight’s haze

                                                Chanel No. 5 singing

Especially liked the first stanza but enjoyed it all. Liked the way you wound your way through it...following the scent. Well done my friend.

How could I let her go? I feel like a BRUT!

This poem smells to high heaven....in a very good way

Laughing at Balladeer - I hate Brut by the way, yuck! I sure loved this poem though.

Sunshine - This is just so fine. I thoroughly enjoyed this - my mom used to wear this scent and I even see her in this piece. Ditto J wesley - like the way you followed the scent...Panne
