Running away.
From the reflection.
From reality.
From the truth.

Denying.
The reflection.
Reality.
The truth.

Forgetting.
The reflection.
Reality.
The truth.

And the reflection shatters.
Thousands of tiny shards.
Glistening.
Like tears.

Cotton-soft.
A powdery mist.
Gentle breath
Of healing.

Assembles.
The mirror shards.
The break of reality.
The lie of truth.

Without edges and corners.
Simply existent.
Quiet and loving.
In a delicate veil of blossoms.

Comforting embrace
On tender soles,
Enveloping
In the cloak of acceptance.

The reflection
Smiles
With cracks and scars
Full of hope.

The first comment I'm reading from you, and it's such a big deal right away! I probably wouldn't like the scent, but I find the transformation interesting. And if you can perceive how the reflection breaks in the heart, you seem to have a very keen nose.

You write a lot (I read your comments almost daily) and you write excellently. Above all, you show an incredible wealth of variations, especially here, where you let your poetic talent shine. It's a joy and very touching to read your beautiful texts.

Great write-up from you.
I would like to echo DerDefcon's words without saying much more.

In this forum, scents that are smooth and rounded are often accused of being monotonous, boring, or even insignificant, but your comment shows that edges and angles aren't always necessary.

"Without edges and angles.
Simply existing.
Soft and loving.
In a delicate veil of flowers."

Would that be possible with those edges and angles? Probably not.

So, great comment!

So beautifully wrapped, the perfume and - other things. I could NEVER do that!

Well written.... although I'm not a huge fan of iris personally. And Monotheme is often underrated anyway.
