Authors note, Sweet olive is a flowering shrub, commonly used in the southern USA as a hedge. Its blossom is very fragrant and is similar to the scent of oranges or apricots. On calm nights, the smell of sweet olive fills the air. Sweet olive perfume breezes keep my eyes awake keeping you with me. Photographic smiles and letters fade in the night when I catch your scent. I inhale, holding my breath hoping to keep you inside forever. Captured in my lungs, throat closed, face in the pillow, air seems less needed. Type II poet. Its worth the work. |

Thank you for the info on the sweet olive bush. An orange-scented perfume sounds far more romantic than one that smells like olives. A delicate and sensitive penning. ![]() ![]() Linda |
