Do you burn incense? ? <br /> Do you like the willowy tendrils of aroma <br /> caressing your lithe body.. <br />today when I smelt lavender <br />I thought of you and <br />of the possibility of smuggling the fragrance <br /> into your realm through the many treacheries of time … <br /> <br /> I couldn’t find any courier, carrier or courtier… <br /> so it remains …atremble.. <br />a captive in its glass mausoleum.. <br /> un-smelt, unborn <br /> so there will be irate oracles <br />on tangent as their haughty nostrils <br />were not flooded with the waft of supplication; <br />there will be burials unwept <br />as the ephemeral balm of ritual <br />went sadly amiss ….. <br /> <br />I’m resigned to a life <br />Undrencehed in the lavender <br />Of your love <br />till a new uprising, <br />till a new intrigue or <br />till a courtier carrier or a courier.. <br />lighter than breath <br />is born … <br /> <br />Wardha and Rehan's project of joining pens/tabs<br /><br />Frank Lisa IndiRa Francesca Roger Platt Cornish Martin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/wardhan-i-mist-of-lavender/
