Poetry
Fragrance.
By maipenrai
07 September 2007
the fragrance of your perfume
cannot hide
the lingering smell of death
that denotes your presence,
yet were I not to know you
your angelic smile
your beauty, would persuade me of
imaginations.

the smile of angels
cannot hide
the corruption inside
the shell of your beauty,
your spirit and soul
beyond the call of goodness
or forgiveness.

If I didn't have a knowledge of your usual themes, I wouldn't be confused by this: a woman struggling to maintain life while suffering cancer. Even the last two lines fit that. Perhaps that's what this is about. If it is, I like it very much. It does touch the horror of the inevitable end. (For some) 
 
Let me know if it's on another theme - I'll have another think.

Hi Phil and thanks for your comments. 
 
You are right in one way re this one but it could also be seen as the bitter end of a relationship . 
 
this came about when a friend asked me to write a piece around the word Fragrance.
