Intoxicated by Perfume Indulgence
written by: Melanie Garfinkel Waknine
Exhilaration rises
as scents abound:
persuasive perfumed
indulgence-
a fragrance pleasure ground…
Gratification overwhelms
vanilla and cherry blossom mix
gloriously inebriating
a potent and desirous ‘fix’…
Invigorating…thrilling
a tiny dab emitting:
aromas richly satisfying
mind and body overpowering.

Blessed and fortunate, to have traveled extensively meeting dynamic people as well as capturing Nature’s beauty and purity, both in photography and verse. She grew up in Johannesburg, South Africa, emigrated alone to Israel, eventually finding love in the snow... Canada! When she’s not writing, she devotes her time to elderly dementia patients. Her mottos for living: #Having FunWhilst Doing Good# #OwnYourNow# A number of poems have been aired on Fine Music Radio Inc, published online at Spillwords.com printed in Open Skies Poetry Vol 1, Wheelsong Poetry Anthology 2022 and Dark Reflections: An Open Skies Collection.
