I searched within to find enlightenment
Down and deep to my true unconscious centers
It was a fading disillusionment
Like misty breathe in New York City Winters
I turned without to find an inspiration
But from without an inspiration found
A within pouring of deliberation
As white sap out a tree, blood flowing down
Like clouds from heaven, slow the incense burns

‘Til, in pure clarity, the Spirit turns
Can i so easily remove away a friendship
The Fragrance Writer, 2023
Like a rinsing of the hands
But you wouldn’t wash away
Though I tried, your scent still stayed.
A lover with a gun? Unexpected.
Mediocrity was never your choice.
Perfume’s a pistol, unsuspected
You’ve got me held up.
How many roses red to raze my heart?
Or musk, the purse that robbed the deer of life?
Does strong romance require a rampart?
Jealousy lends to no one.
A war is won through clever proposal

Wise lovers know the tools at their disposal
On a beach, at the sea, this is a happy place

Within reach,
bergamot tea
Occasionally I taste
Wishing my anxieties
to cease.
The mandarin moons

are resolute
against a blackened sky. Rapaciously, they
follow suit,
of smokey suns gone by.
