In Truth
Fragrance Lingers Much Longer Than Words
Color Vibrates In Scented Tones
Of Awareness

A Rhapsody Of Aromas
Float Majestically
In Ornate Cylinders
Of Changing Mental Enzymes

As Space Drips
Into A Forgotten Hourglass
Filled With Realities

I Wander Endlessly
Smelling Your Fragrant Consciousness
As Material Sounds
Tap On My Mind
With Diluted Verse

Captured In Time
Perfumed Desires Drain
In Odorless Beliefs
As Babbling Matter
Creates Distortions

In Love
Fragrance Lingers Longer Than Words
Both Drenched In Synchronicity
We Meet Silently
Gently Touching In Harmony
As We Mesh
In The Aromatic Essence
Of Oneness

While Unscented Words Drift
In Nothing

Outstanding!
Such sensitivity invites the mind to travel these nuances, a mental caress.

This is breathtakingly beautiful, dear Hal! It keeps me wanting to reread it over and over. Fragrance is said to be the most powerful memory. You use it so well here.

Thank you for sharing this beauty!

Love,
Margherita

loved it all, but these 2 lines exploded in my mind
