Cologne


Empty bottles of perfume
Wasted lives, time will exhume

Nothing ever lasts
Except fragrant pasts;
Sprays of passion,
Whiffs of desire,
Love potion,
Ribbed latex, stoking fire

Empty bottles of perfume
Wasted lives, time will exhume

Nothing ever lasts
Even fragrant pasts;
Sprays of laughter,
Whiffs of compassion,
Love’s charter,
Happy ending; first impression

Empty bottles of perfume
Wasted lives, time will exhume;

Nothing ever lasts
Except the residue in lovers hearts;

Empty bottles of perfume,
Come closer, inhale:
Love's waiting to bloom.

why then do we always retain these empty bottles.

Its about cherished memories....
I always say, if something did not work out despite you giving it your best shot, it was not meant to be. It is better not to hold grudges, not to hold bitterness or hurt within you. It is better to cherish the fragrant past instead. Not hold on to it, but be thankful for having experienced the good moments in your relationships. Cheers! may the fragrance last, forget the past :-)

Wow! Thats all I can say ....
after every gloomy night, there comes a bright sunny day ...

a dialogue from 'The Lion King' which helped me get it atlast...

"Learn to put your behind in the past!!!!" :) :)
