Caught In Her Web



Quote of the day:
It's so nice to get flowers while you can still smell the fragrance - Lena Horne


she walked past me and my pupils dilated....
a thousand and one words sped through my mind....

Words that literally came to life...
words like..... essence, femininity, allure,magnetism.....

like a pied piper her scent played me a tune...

she weaved a web, and i got trapped in it....no escape


Amazing...
how a smell...

a scent...

a fragnance....
or aroma....

roses...
jasmine......Lavender....??

Amazing...
how it all can trigger a memory...
a thought...

a dream...or something else

  1. I know exactly what you mean...some smells reminding me of 'beginning of term in sec. school, those horrible back to school days'. Some smells remind me of my mama, while others remind me of this guy I liked a long time ago...hmmm nothing like good smells to refresh ur memory.

  2. i knowwwww....the science of smell is rather fascinating. the one that kills me is how a smell can trigger a feeling that is not even related. like smelling thai pasta makes you thinnk of a person instead of hunger. a smell can take you way back and bring you back ...i use my nose everyday!!! thanks for the reminder tho...lol
