A Smell to Remember

-
Familiar fragrance
that mysterious scent you wear
I knew it, I swear I knew it
My olfactory memory can’t retrieve it

A lotion?
Soap?
Shampoo?
You reacted when I said perfume

Cologne is for men
Perfume is for women
I disagree
Still, you insist

Like Kurt Cobain

he Smells like Teen Spirit
a deodorant brand

But what’s your cologne?!
I’m eager to know
you wouldn’t spill
a secret you carry to the grave

If there is some kind of Person in charge of this planet - are they sleeping? Smoking? Where are they? I jus...

I became a ghost, with this I mean withdrawal of communication and not providing information for ending any form of relationship. I take no pride of this at all especially that most folks I deal with have good souls. But sometimes even if we’re surrounded with love, darkness has a unique way to seep in through our system.             You may ask why, I honestly don’t know. Just one mundane day, as I repeatedly listened to my top favorite songs, I found myself crying in the middle of an upbeat tune.

Obviously it can’t so I have to deal with this alone. ...
