Surrender No 5

entry picture

I want to be a perfume bottle
Made of purple glass with a knotted silver necklace
Looking and smelling sweet
From my head to my feet

My face, but a perfume bottle body
My friends and I would party on the dressing room table
Rose, Amber, Pearl, Pink, Diamond and Jade

I'd the join the hierarchy of perfumes
The most original of scents
The tried and tested musky kind
Guaranteed to get men flustered and determined to find
The point of release.....................................
..................................behind, wrists, ears or...knees

It's amazing how one drop of some sweet scent
Can have the same effects
As the 40 percent contents
Of a whisky bottle

If this poem were perfume...it would be intoxicating.

Lovely.

I loved this Shelley Ann - made me grin! The last verse contains a universal truth...:-)
