Spice Rack - 14. Recollection

Ah, the unique scent of your man... calming, and invigorating both. The things it does to your senses... your state of mind. It is what you crave when it's not there, and what you need to flavor your air... I love that you speak of the rising incense... as you get closer to the altar... so beautifully expressed  

sublime!

Scent... goes down deep, straight to your soul.. 

Lovely Parker. 

The special smell of your man at the end of a summer day ... lingers in memory ... close your eyes and you are there ...

Scent is one of the most powerful memory triggers, and the scent of one you desire can be intoxicating.  Well done, Parker.  

Oh Parker... I feel like we would be good friends. There's nothing sexier than the funk of your man!

It was wonderful parker...I got the image of u n ur beloved sitting in a garden watching sunset, and the breeze blowing where u can smell the sun, the grass n ur man...

It was a lovely poem...very beautiful!!

Scent unquestionably alters mind and memory, making imprints and pathways in  the brain. Just one hint of that attar and one's spirit lights up. I am glad you liked this; you seem to get my meaning exactly.

Lovely Parker. 

They say that some of our deepest memories are bound up in what we smell. Thanks for thinking about this with me.

"The salt scent of work" - I love it.  Just one whiff and it can ignite something... primal.  Another palatable offering, Chef.  Very well done.

I thank you, dear Val. You're right about ignition and smell - just the faintest trace on the air can change your outlook, mend your mood, or send you back in time.

You're so right. Close your eyes, and that essential scent can take you as far as your mind, memory and imagination can go. Thanks for reading this, and for your comment.

 Intoxicating, enchanting, stirring - scent can be all those and more. And yet, it is also one of those senses we often forget about, especially in writing. Thank you so much, Lit.

That is such a nice thing to say. It is really kind of you. And I think we agree on how sexy the smell of your lover can be!

 You set the scene so vividly and perfectly. The end of a perfect day of getting projects and work accomplished; soon to be followed by an evening in other pursuits. Thanks so much for reading this poem and for your comments.
