What Fragrance Wafts

What fragrance wafts from lovely tune
 closing my eyes, sweet memories
 of your rich, dulcet melodies -
 pleasing my ears.

What fragrance wafts from yonder room
 where two distinct arcs intertwine
 where your gaze first attracted mine -
 pleasing my eyes.

What fragrance wafts from yonder glen
 where lavender or jasmine grows
 young love on springtime zephyr blows -
 pleasing my mind.

What fragrance wafts from yonder church
 one soul is crafted out of two
 profound the promise of "I do" -
 pleasing my heart.

What fragrance wafts from clothes you wore
 the scent you left now brings relief
 and joyful tears mingled with grief -
 please linger still,
 please linger still.
