This was (not) the perfume of your love

This was (not) the perfume of your love

A Chapter by Dr. YumnaKay
"

Experimental.

Star gazing
the nightly sky,

this hazy mist
lifted

while

I am
getting accustomed;

as

I sense a rancid, 
putrid smell ... 

mistaken for ---

 the perfume of your love ~

It is a thin line that divides the two extremes isn't it? And here you have expressed it so well.

True, and how often we stray towards the other end...
Thank you for appreciating, Ken.
Love/Hate- the two sided coin so well-expressed , by scent!, in this poem. The "perfume of your love" morphs into "a rancid, putrid smell" of love lost...yes! Perfect!

It is indeed a two sided coin. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for liking :)
Some great thoughts which are very creative!
I really liked this Yumna!
When that perfume you love, turns out to be the perfume you hate later on...
Keep it up

Thank you, Shaan. Glad you like it :)
Ouch! Expressive words that say it all, Yumna. Can only pray they're a poet's ripe imagination.

Couldn't have said it better myself.. Thank you for your thoughts, Jacob.
It's a sad thing when that sweet perfume goes sour. You have summed it up well in this short little gem. I wouldn't add on to it. I think it is perfect. :) Julie
