Scents of the Season

Balsam Green

smells like my face buried into your chest

home is the forest in your heart

but I didn’t see the trees

</b>

Peppermint Snow,

a lump forms in my throat

a scent too saccharine to breathe

with hints of a dream of me and you

Winter Wonderland

this aroma chills

like the ocean breeze on a winter’s night

under streetlights, our hands first touched

Sugar and Spice

pairs poorly with the fragrance

of the loss of everything nice

Pine and Juniper

a deep rich perfume

of promises splintered

Merry Berry

sweetness turned to sour

Heart curdled by the odor

heartbreak
