Crave the rush of something wonderful,
spritz on the smell of fresh lemons and a summer day
or bright white linens when sleeping in is so easy
I want this perfume to smell like life,
like clean air in my lungs, right from the sky
like a perfect day,
when my hair was just washed and the blood rushed to my cheeks
like a brilliant smile without a worry,
with black and white photographs
and rays of summer peeking around the cracks
Scents of grass and hundreds of roses,
in the dew soaked morning
the smell of a perfect dance and music and laughter in the background
i want to smell like the rush you feel when things work out just right
disbelief in how something could be so perfect
Perfume of ringing notes, deep from the piano's body
aromas of starlight in the sky, saturated into the mountains and on my face
reeking of awe in God's creation,
glistening flecks against crushed navy velvet
inhaling these droplets of rain, like gems of pure oxygen
so wash me... fresh and pure
Cleanse me in something gloriously pristine
like falling into the depth of an atmosphere so blue
and crashing into a crisp sparkling lake,
effervescent and clean
truly and ravishingly new.
this little shop of scents is where I spend my time,
saving up to buy just enough on a dime
and adding to my collection, precious and divine
all those little jewel bottles to keep on my vanity,
right in front of the mirror
where the sun will catch them just right
and they will at once dance in the light,
Oh, I will wake in the morning and dab on sparkling joy,
spritz a rush of adrenaline soaked excitement,
the pure zing of a ray of sunlight
and splash on a bit of unforgettable, rain soaked rose
Just for good measure, a hint of starlight and dash of sea
will all be... just what I really need.

this was like the fresh summer air. That takes you to life and rids the mind of all that winter had bottled up in side. This is so full of beauty it almost out shown the sun at mid-night...mac -

This is nothing short of excellent writing. No, let me revise that: it is exquisite. Beautiful imagery, scents, sights and sounds: can't get any better than this. You are, indeed, very talented with the weaving of words; for you have spun gold throughout this piece. Might I suggest that you enter your work into the various contests here at A/P. That way a lot more people will get exposed to your exquisite artistry.

Very nice! I like how sometimes it rhymes and sometimes it doesn't. It's not very traditional, but I'm a rebel so I really like that. It's very well-written. Your style and syntax is very beautiful and I just love this poem! Very nice job!
