Eau de Toilette

Im sick of perfume

I want to smell life

I want to smell the stink

That nature designed

.

I want to smell dirt

That shows me you planted a flower

Not an imitation smell

From a bottle of fragranced toilet water

.

I want to smell spices

And freshly cooked food

Not fancy soaps

That mask the concoction you’ve brewed

.

I want to smell the sweat

From a hard working body

I want to smell the burnt bitter aroma

Of a fresh brewed coffee

I want to smell the rain falling

On the hot, dry earth

I want to smell the cleanse

Of the sage that you burn

I want to smell the pages

Of a well worn book

I want to smell the kitchen

Of a well seasoned cook

.

I want to smell fiery wood

I want to smell the ocean tide

I want to smell fishy rivers

I want to smell life

.

Rid my senses of your imitation scents

I want to smell life
