A Tincture of Glass

"and the scent crosses pillow

to fill my days

with the you of my longing."

Audrey, you are a poet like no other. I truly loved this!

I love it when you write poetry! Bravo.

Mm and the photo is perfect for it! ^

Wow!This is sensual and beautiful!

Oh, yes, it is all over when those pheramones hit our noses!

Really nice one, Audrey, as always.

Up and more and sharing

Blessings, Faith Reaper

Aha, There's nothing more tantalizing than a scent on a pillow. I agree with Genna, you are one of the best and i am always thrilled when i see that you have posted...Thank you

Beautifully written Audrey; your phrasing is so individual and much appreciated.

This is magic, Audrey! Arouses the senses, supplies the stimuli and leaves details to the imagination! That is truly sensual!!

Hi Audrey

"And yet it happens with regularity.

The escapement ticks

and the scent crosses pillow

to fill my days

with the you of my longing."

Love it!

Good hub and informative too.Thanks to share.

Just beautiful Audrey -- each word perfectly placed. It is extraordinary how much scent means to us, can alter our mood and draw forth long-slumbering memories. Theresa

Audrey this was simply amazing!!!!!!!

I agree with Frank, AMAZING! Words everyone in love can relate to. Thank you for sharing the beauty of this poem.

AUDREY-

I think poets are the bravest people on earth. Most people would jump off a tall bridge before they's have the courage to reveal emotions this close to their hearts--whether the experience happened to you, or only to your persona, the ILLUSION is that it happened to you. Exquisite images beautifully crafted.

So beautifully realistic, Audrey, that your pheromones are tickling my nose as I write. Really!

Intriguing words and the photo goes so well with its abstractness.

Hi Audrey,

Stunning, sexy and beautiful all rolled up . . . your photo is perfect with the words, love it as it is my kind of art!

Up++++= shared!!

Ah the scent :) Beautiful!

So sensual. What you said beautifully illuminated ... what you didn't say.

Very nicely done.

Beautiful. Things that appeal to our senses can trigger so many memories.

Yes Audrey, its Mary.

That must be one enticing smell!

Beautiful and great imagery!

Absolutely beautiful Audrey. You write in such a unique style I would know it even without your name.

"tinged in the DNA of love's mechanics..." A line I shall remember from a poem so well written. Jamie

Beautiful Audrey!

Your word pictures bring back memories that give a sweet lingering taste. Have a great Sunday.

Mmmmm....phermones, my favorite! lol..

Sadly, haven't come across any of note for quite some time..

Ah, well..where there's life there's hope, eh?

lol..

Simply sublime Audrey, a beautiful write :-))

Short and sweet. Good vocabulary. Very classy. Blessings!

This verbalizes what would be hard for me to express in words. Very sexy.

Thanks for sharing this lovely piece with us, and I hope you have a wonderful week.

I love this poem and your expression, Audrey. Yes, a scent of cologne can drive a woman crazy! L:OL You express this so gently just like a wiff of scent traveling up the nostrils. Your words are wonderful. I also love the image - how great is that and so perfect for this poem. Thanks for a real treat!

Truly wonderful Audrey and thank you for sharing.

Enjoy your day.

Audrey, voted up, awesome, beautiful, and interesting. Your ability to write complex poetry that is meaningful and smooth is like no other, so-so talented you are. The references and expressions of passion are off the wall, certainly one for the ages. PERFECT :)

arousal and loneliness ! Beautifully portrayed ! :)

Your ability to capture the moment is so lovely and always done so effortlessly. Per usual, Excellent Work.

Beautiful poem.

Yes! We wonder why we continue loving someone even if the person does not reciprocate. Beautiful, Audrey.

Beautifully expressed.

Wow, this poem is full of erotic expectation. I love the stanzas, "a needless breakage/as slivers descend to earth." Your poetry is beautiful and edgy. Thank you!

Wow Audrey, this is so beautiful!

Loved this and voted up.

Best wishes Lesley

Beautiful poem Audrey! voted up and shared, nell

I suppose everybody can relate with the situation of the fly trapped under the glass... We only have a moment, The Moment.

A Tincture of Glass is a beautifully written poem.

A beautiful poem and for me I think you are right it is a love poem, but I think it has a bittersweet feel so it is unrequited (or at least unequal) love that I get from this.

A beautiful poem indeed. Not sure if it's a healthy love, but we've all probably ventured some place near this emotional landscape. The photo complements it splendidly.

This one is very beautiful, too. It expresses a new relationship quite well.

Such beauty here in your poetic lines, dear Audrey! (Also, I love your profile photo here!)

Beautifully crafted, as usual. Great poetry.

Well done. A very poetic post about scent .

fragrance all the way Aud

A very passionate poem, Audrey.

Scented lyrics, are a beauty,

having drenched, on a dry day,

have made me, ecstatic and high.

Thank you, Audrey.
