Poetry list
heaven scent
can you smell eternity
or heaven surely not
yet the incense of
damask rose and lily
burnt into fleeting
fragrance its passing
perfume caresses
and releases arrests
the heart in a
momentary
explosion of dancing
delight a heightened
beat plunging dropping
bursting us out
of a prison into
the delirium that
might could shall
last for
ever
