For years a wanderer searched for eternal joy
Walking along liars and thieves who only cloyed,
She
followed a
journey
that carried no
direction
Her purpose and hope slowly began to lose connection,
Once all of her will had finally withered away
Something called out to her through the haze of disarray
"The item you seek is not something to be bought
It is not a physical battle that needs to be fought.
In this selfish act we have lost our lifestyle
But strong faith runs through us, it's time we reconcile.
The item you thought you were missing, was a partner

A perfume is a weapon, my grandmother said. No matter how hard I tried, I could not understand what she meant by this.
To me, a perfume was but a delight. Especially our traditional family perfume that my grand mother favored above all the others; the one my mum would wear with her fabulous dresses and beautiful jewels. In my little girl’s eyes, mom in her glamorous outfits was like one of the fairy queens in the fairy tales she was reading to me. The jewels sparkles were a wonder, akin to fireworks, and the scent of the perfume would fill my mind with all sorts of marvelous dreams.

So he lit the forbidden candle under negligent eyes
Unaware of the chill of midnight growing through his veins
Colors were left outside the boundary lines

giving in to our unholy instincts?
Or are we truly liberating ourselves,
reaching new highs of sensual enlightenment?
