A Perfume

Atmosferických básničiek nikdy nie je dosť. A táto je špeciálne zaujímavá, že je to – a to málokedy priznávam – skutočná príhoda. Viac vám povie už samotná básnička. Príjemné čítanie 🙂

I SMELLED A PERFUME

I smelled a perfume
as smooth as cream
yet sharper than razor
it brought back a dream.

My hands shook and shivers
ran up my neck.
All of those memories
were all at once back.

A moment in time:
long gone, yet now.
Something uncertain,
yet clear somehow.

A flash from the past:
hazy and vague
yet burning and fresh
back like a plague.

A shot out of nowhere:
right to my nose.
Something so far
yet so very close.

A quaint feeling:
what did I think?
And then the dream was
gone in a blink.

I smelled a perfume
of a strange girl
yet as if I knew her
my world went to swirl.

I smelled a perfume
as smooth as cream
yet way more painful
than it may seem.
