Fresh food New flower fragrances Sometimes a dull appearance Yet we're attracted New love Young love Drawn by sight Drawn by words Held by scent Old love Not so young Not so fresh Held by habit? Then Showered Lightly scented Halston - Lauren We're perked up Tantalized As in ages past We're still wanted Still desired Drawn by the unseen Still loved The first duty of love is to listen. |

I really like this. Left me with a smile...... Nice write, Wilfred. The greatest part of a writer's time is spent in reading, in order to write; a man will turn over half a library to make one book. |

"Then Showered Lightly scented Halston - Lauren We're perked up Tantalized As in ages past We're still wanted Still desired Drawn by the unseen Still loved" How could you ask for more....wonderful write!! The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |

this stinks!!! ROFL... just kidding, dear sir, you know my silly sense of humor.... but truthfully, this has an aura of scents to it... and it makes perfect sense in the array and display of sensual imagery... and oh how i love a poem with the aroma of Love..... this one was #1 and it was chosen to be herald as one of your most prime writings.... a veritable treat for the sweetness of the olfactory..... mmmmmm..... smells delightful! |
