Love Poem: Chantilly

Chantilly

Chantilly

Lingering long after your death
The fragrance forever yours
Chantilly, lace, and Grandma’s face
Together in thoughts endure.

A subtle scent as you passed by
Showing kindness, endearing love.
Perfume my memories of you
Even though you abide above.

I never dreamed that fragranced whiff
Barely noticed as you rushed by,
Would engrave itself upon my mind.
And bring my heart to you on high.

It has comforted through a lifetime.
Your favorite fragrance makes me smile.
So, I save some on my dresser
To remember mile after mile –
