The Scent of Myrrh She came to me on a papers write Through the chaos of my night A butterfly seeking nectars sweet Settled the edge of my retreat. But the flowers bloom was near its end And nectars flow was slow transcend And though there was a mutual glow December brings the cold and snow. But my thoughts did harvest light She granted me my wish that night And since have I believed in God This one province he graced his nod My way had grown a grayer stark She lit a candle to my dark Freed for me, a resting dove A moment’s passion of her love And I can only say to her She is to me the scent of myrrh. |

Then breathe it deep, and breathe it well, and soon you shall hear a tinker's bell... Good morning, Sy...  |

Seymour Tabin, this is simply wonderful, to have felt the touch of life through time of need, to have shared a moment with the heart's messenger, to have been blessed by grace and the fortune of chance. Let the season of the butterfly come again soon. Very much enjoyed my friend. Take care. Sincerely Rick |

Your rhymes wrap round me in cadenced kissed delight, verses of light and right take me on a butterfly's flight. I know so little of the hint or scent of Myrrh ... but you can be sure your poetry makes this moth purr.  Oh-- I know--Myrrh smells like raspberries  *winkiewinkie* love ya me sweet Stinky.   |

Myrrh quells anxiety Inducing pleasant sleep Banishing the mares of night And keeping dreams of sweet Its oil supplifies the skin Imparting healthy glow Improves circulation To the above and the below! Myrrh is essential To one's clarity of thought It strengthens one's immunity Heals ails with which one's fraught When earthy scent fills your room You'll know that she is near She'll kiss you sweetly on the brow Annointing you with myrrh [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (05-11-2003 04:54 PM).] |

JM, It's true you are my raspberry tea The scent of myrrh is not for thee Frankincense is more for Tink For you are the wink in my winkiewink. WWRS Frank, Glad you enjoyed. Margherita, You are very sweet, thank you. Earth Angel, So you know about Myrrh How about frankincense? Perhaps the both, you can stir. It would make an odor of sense. You are a delight, |

Sy, I once was given a gift of frankencense (sp?) and myrrh in a small gilt edged box. It seemed as if I held a bit of magic in my hands when I touched that myrrh. Lovely poem, lovely memory. |

Hello Seymour As I write to you I have a stick of myrrh incense burning and it smells beautiful. When I saw the title of your poem I just had to read it for it was too much of a coincidence. I hope all is well with you. Take care.....Sue I am in motion |
