The scent of Sweet Williams,
Brings sweet memories back to me,
Of a summer night, so long ago,
When I gave my love so free.

I was young and innocent,
And hungry to explore,
The smouldering passions in each of us,
And hot kisses of adore.

Upon the dewy grass that night,
You drew me close to you,
Your beating heart stirred fires in me,
And away my cautions flew.

Beneath a starlit canopy,
We joined in harmony,
Breathing in each other's love,
In a world of ecstasy.

Whenever I smell Sweet Williams,
Those memories come back to me,
Of that summer night, so long ago,
When I gave my love so free.

Funny how a scent or sound or feel can bring back memories.  I love it when that happens, mostly.  Enjoyed sweet E.A.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Earth Angel,
   The color, the shape, even with no scent,
Sweet Williams would be a favorite, as is this poem.  Super!

I heard once that scent is the bodie's sense most associated with memory... and I believe it's true. I know Sweet Williams bring vivid memories back to me, too... though I can't say they're memories at all like yours are here!

(smiles) Awwwwwww, this made me tear up as I can only imagine how it will feel when I lie with my dream girl in a special place and share a first kiss and feel the transcendental vibration of love we have longed for so long! (kiss on cheek) It makes me so happy to see that the youth of this love still shines in your heart that so many take for granted, as I truly believe those who hold true to the young love will have it and be happy forever, yay, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

You have started a whole new way of living and are finding your own way in the world. Many new adventures and experiences will breathe new life into your being. Be patient, you are making inroads into finding other beautiful facets of yourself!
