The Ad Says: Spirited. Adventurous. Intuitive.
Don’t change, you say,
inspired by the song
of love triumphant
and the scent I wore
when you first loved me.
You say you like it,
whatever it is,
whatever it is,
when I curse myself
for being too much of
this
or not enough of that.
And I guess that does
about sum it up.
Even when I don’t,
you love me
as I am.

In a few days my
husband and I will celebrate our 16th Anniversary. Poème
is the fragrance I wore back when
we first met and is also the title of a work by Amédée-Ernest Chausson which
was originally subtitled The Song of Love
Triumphant .
:) Many congratulations. The essence of true love is to accept the person as he or she is.
ReplyDeleteThank you for such a wonderful tribute - and for most of all, being my friend despite my faults and failures. Yours always, Thor.
ReplyDeleteI love it! Wish I was home to give you a giant hug and sweep you off of your feet. I think I need to go shopping for some lancome products....Miss you - Thor

ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary, Jennifer. If you have someone who loves you just as you are even when you don't, it is a beautiful thing. And, ha, fragrances do play their part in memories, don't they? I am not familiar with your fragrance of choice, but I understand the concept!

Firstly, congratulations to you and your husband.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, what a beautiful poem. I read somewhere long time back that smell has (probably) the strongest capacity to bring back memories related to it. Not sure if it is correct or not but I have experienced it a few times. :)
Beautifully penned.
Happy Anniversary, Jennifer. Pete and I celebrate 16 years in September.
ReplyDeleteI love your poem. Perfume is so evocative.
