Aromatherapy

by Karla   Dec 26, 2011


I look at him,
thinking of my horizontal life,
moving right to the left,
utterly alone with my desire
and restlessness as I sprinkle a few drops
of Ylang Ylang in the air.

While he is an impossible moment
at the end of all, I am part of a limitless we.
I should have known he wouldn't put up with
his allergy to my French perfume and plans.
Some smells are fatal and tend to linger
like black mold when it grows in the intolerant
walls of love .

Fear not my mouth and hands scented with
tomorrows and dreamy aromas.
Some fragrances are just for a true connoisseur.

    Aromatherapy - the name of the poem itself is soothing and relaxing

    I love the first stanza - horizontal life moving to the left and right. It makes me think of a life that's been changed - turned upside down - going in a different direction than it should.

    To be honest I've never heard of Ylang Ylang so I had to google it. I knew it was some form of oil due to the nature of your poem but I didn't know what its effects would be.

    An oil calm emotions sounds about right for someone who's life is taking a different direction.

    A beautiful poem - well written

    I quite enjoyed the read Karla!
