Gardenia Memories
A Perfumed Poem
The smell of a gardenia
Brings back memories of you
Your loving touch
Your gentle hugs
Your bustling ways
The smell of gardenia
Brings back memories of childhood
When times where simpler
When all I had to do was play
When I was cocooned in your love
The smell of gardenia
Transports me to a time that I sat at your lap
To a time that I was innocent
To a time that I was carefree
To a time that I was young
So I were the same perfume
That you wore back then, today
Bringing back the memories of you
So that you may never have to die

On Winning and Losing
Recently, the pleasant surprise of placement on the Vocal Bonus Leaderboard sent me down a rabbit hole. Now, rabbit holes are a pretty common place for me to spend time, but I don't always feel the call to write about them. To be honest, the thought of sharing some of them mortifies me.

A simple flower bring back sweet memory 🥰
This is so so sweet and lovely. “When I was cocooned in your love” is a gorgeous line. And that ending was especially excellent.
This was so poignant and emotional. Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
