A garden blooms in chaotic minds.
It flowers for a bouquet that the heart may find.
A Poet prunes a poem. A Perfumer plucks a signature scent.
Ink dances with smells and sensations;
The creation commences:
Glees swirls with frustrations.
Rages mixes with lamentations.
Enticing machinations -
Of memories and temptations.
Lavender twirls with oud:
A potion that soothes,
The past who made a mind so cruel.
Rose crushes with clove:
A scent of yesterday’s love;
My nose, that nestled in a flame’s embrace.
In the Garden of their consciousness.
Our souls surrender to creation.
Emotions distilled onto paper.
Passions, frustrations,
Experiences, sensations,
All in The Poem.
All in The Potion.
The Poet and The Perfumer
