Fragrance Poetry inspired by Pegasus from Parfums de Marly.
Today began with my favorite cup.
Coffee with vanilla. . . amaretto.
I’ve been washed clean in white, soapy water.
And now I’m prepared for my last ride home.
Today, we’ve picked out my favorite suit,
Adorned me with white florals, like garland.
And, lain in a coat of silver armor.
Pegasus will carry me to the sun.

Thanks. That’s what Pegasus is known for 🙂 But coincidently, I wrote this poem before I researched the symbolism of Pegasus!!

Thanks. I really wanted this poem to come at the reader fast, once they realize it’s a funeral. However, I also wanted to put it in a positive light.

I think I got the inner meaning, but I don’t know if that’s right, hehe! Great poem though! Take care!

Well, according to me, it’s preparation for funeral and the last ride ‘home’, is it right?

Kind of both. The silver armor is the coffin. And then Pegasus is often symbolizing taking you to the afterlife
