i can’t remember
the sound of your voice
or the way that i’d feel
when you’d enter a room
but once in a while
i smell that perfume
you used to wear
(and just maybe still do)
it’s usually when i’m in a crowd
and i scan all the faces
searching for yours
(before i can stop myself)
but i don’t see you
and i know you’re not there
but i close my eyes
(just for a second)
and half-pretend you are
and i just enjoy
the scent of that perfume
and for a moment or two
i truly understand
the meaning of nostalgia

For my late mom, Darlene-Agnes, who always wore just a touch of Nina Ricci’s L’air du Temp perfume.
Beautifully penned, ST. Amazing tribute to your mom my friend. Excellent write. Appreciate you.
Damian
As always, so many thanks.
I agree with Damian It is a beautiful tribute.
Thank you so much, that’s very gracious of you!
Beautifully written, with a tender touch. “)
You are ALWAYS so, so kind!!! And, now, when I finally have my meds updated, I RUSH to go read your poems I’ve had on the back-burner until I can appreciate them and comment the best, and HP is DOWN for everyone, and with a very ominous message, one that is usually reserved for when a website’s core files have all been deleted, soooo, did Eliot really pull the plug with no notice, as he said he would if the experiment of two months to see if it could make enough money to pay the bills or not was completely? Well, the two months ended to the very day and now the website is gone… I don’t think he was joking around!! Lol. But we have here, but I don’t have your poems you recommended, that short list, to read, and I REALLY want to read them, and comment really fully on them, the size of a critique but much nicer, saying only the good things!! So if you have the here, or can share them here as well, that would be AWESOME!!! But in the meantime, I have two that came to me in my dreams last night to post, so that’s a good thing for me at least. I hope you have all your HP poems backed up, just in case… or to do so if the site comes back up, because I’ve a feeling the day the site NEVER comes back up is a comin’!!!
And thank you again, I love your comments, they always feel so sincere, and “with a tender touch”, I could not have asked for anything more than that in writing of my late mom, thank you m8. Her granddaughter, Angelika-Darlene, wore L’air du temps as well, only on really special occasions as being a nun she didn’t want to be extravagant or an Égoïste, as if she ever could have been with her humble heart, so this was for her as well (PLUS her mama, Monika, wore L’air du temps as well because she smelled it on my mama, loved it, and my mom gave her a BIG Nina Ricci biggest-bottle you could get of L’air du temps that Christmas of 1988 as Kiki’s first Christmas present from anyone in Canada, even opening it before my gift to her. Oh, what memories poetry can bring back to us, huh/?!?
