For S.
Still,
after so many years,
that flowery perfume
encountered
on anyone
anywhere
will jostle up remnants
of a love
long buried.
Don't worry –
that love
has been resting in peace
and does not
compete with yours.

Written around fragrant, jostle, remnant from 3WW.

Nice sentiment, nicely expressed...
Fragrant memories!
The power of a remembered smell can conjure up all sorts of spectres from the past. I like the resolution of this poem.
My 3WW
Ahhhh. Love it. Especially the ending. Beautiful beautiful beautiful.
Love does have a lingering fragrance... even after years....
Aw how sweet
