CONVERSING FRAGRANCES:


Dark night lies still & milky moon floats high,

There is nothing astir, but sweet perfumed sigh,

Across stone-garden-walls, soft scented whispers,

Heralding in new dawn, as wept dewdrop glisters.

 

The blooms tell gentle stories, in scented old tales,

Touching tough hearts, that are, as hard as old nails,

Pretty flowers, in perfumes, wax lyrical, their telling,

Within watering of dried eyes, oasis of their welling.

 

Ancient poetry is spoken, by herbs, shrubs & old trees,          

All kissed by sweet birds & bowing down of gold bees,

Butterflies carry messages, from rosebuds to wild sage,

No sweeter words be scribed, by Bard upon white page.

 

All idioms conversed, in scents & fragrances perfumed,

Heard by avid noses & not by cloth ears, as assumed,

In silence, upon soft waftings, their voices are heard,

Drifting in essences, within the songs without words.
