Pricing The Smell

October 25, 2018

 

You crossed me suddenly
Pervading the smell, It tells you are here
You are somewhere in the closer vicinity
Then, I add my philosophical underpinning of consumption
It has many forms:
Seeing, smelling, touching, imagine, actualising, experiencing…!
It needs one or two forms to consume

Oh, yes!
We do not price the smell,
We do not price for seeing
We do not price for imagination
Though we do consume, we do not pay for them
As we do not pay for our relation akin to a flower blooming in the mist of morning
With pervading to the window where I am standing
Let me open it for the fragrance to enter

You are still there. I could smell you
We do not pay for the smell.
It is possible only for you to take me
Through the crooked path smell travelled to my room
To take me to your place.
There is no transportation cost.
We are still sitting in the park cuddling each other.
