Sweet Perfume
In the air
She has omnipresence.
And a delicacy profound
And a curious quintessence
That follows me around.
Ever-present and pervasive
Seeping into my soul
A presence so persuasive
Inescapable and whole.
Found in a flower’s scent
A sweet perfume in the air
Surely heaven sent
Her undisputed flair.
The ubiquitous red rose
Opening to bloom
On long stems, she arose.
Performing a perfect perfume.
Petals of velvet sheen
It is gently drifting to the floor.
Delicate and serene
A droplet from a spore.
Carefully cultivated
Perfection in a flower
A red rose created
In energy and power.
The symbol of love
A blossom in the heart
A sign from up above
That we will never part.
Transcending understanding
Eclipsing golden dreams
Opening and expanding
In golden sunlight, beams.
