Perfumed Notes For Yearning Hearts
@perfumednotes.bsky.social
Where all the sadness, longing, hope, and wishing fly into the ether.
It's quiet here.
It's quiet here.
I face toward the North and I'm hoping that you hear me
Cause I've got a strange way of communicating
And I don't know what will unfold
For two delicate hearts with 38 days to go 1/2
Cause I've got a strange way of communicating
And I don't know what will unfold

Tell me it's safe here
Tell me I can exhale and rest my weary feet
Tell me it's okay to hold you
And never fear that my arms may be empty
Tell me what it means to hope
Tell me everything you want to know
And all that you hold dear
Whatever you tell me,
Tell me the truth
Tell me I can exhale and rest my weary feet
Tell me it's okay to hold you
And never fear that my arms may be empty
Tell me what it means to hope
Tell me everything you want to know
And all that you hold dear
Whatever you tell me,
Tell me the truth

Something is breaking
Unfolding

I tucked it away
Undercover

And here you are
Unnerving
Unapologetic
This is joy
Unbound

What is this?
A spark?
A flicker?
A strangely timed phoenix whose wings still smell of fire and brimstone?
What is this?
A trap?
An elaborate plot?
A wishful thought planted by Krampus while the snow blankets fear?
What is this?
A heart once dead finding warmth?
Perhaps.

All of the love I have for you
Now has nowhere to go
So I'll whisper your name when I'm sleeping
And hold the memory of your face when awake
And the scent of your skin
And the light in your eyes
Will never leave my mind
Because the love that I have
Will never die
Now has nowhere to go
So I'll whisper your name when I'm sleeping
And hold the memory of your face when awake
And the scent of your skin
And the light in your eyes
Will never leave my mind
Because the love that I have
Will never die

I breathe your name into the wind
Like a penitent praying for salvation
It tastes like warm milk and honey
And fills my mouth with desire
I wish it could bring you to me
At a moment's notice
So I can scream it into the darkness
Under the weight of your body
And the strength of your hands
Like a penitent praying for salvation
It tastes like warm milk and honey
And fills my mouth with desire
I wish it could bring you to me
At a moment's notice
So I can scream it into the darkness
Under the weight of your body
And the strength of your hands

I will toil in the garden of life
To make the world soft for you
So you may grow and thrive
As you deserve,
Free from the weeds of despair
To make the world soft for you
So you may grow and thrive
As you deserve,
Free from the weeds of despair

I just walked backwards
From technicolor to grayscale
As if the scent of something familiar
Suddenly became rancid
And the creature comforts
Surround me like an iron maiden
Your presence makes life more vibrant
Your laugh like warm, rolling thunder
And here I am without them
Wayward and homeless
From technicolor to grayscale
As if the scent of something familiar
Suddenly became rancid
And the creature comforts
Surround me like an iron maiden
Your presence makes life more vibrant
Your laugh like warm, rolling thunder
And here I am without them
Wayward and homeless

I have never wanted to fall apart
More completely or entirely
Than I do right now
And you aren't here to sweep up the pieces
Or glue me back together
With wry placation
Through squinted eyes
And unspoken adoration
So I lie scattered
Waiting for your hand to find me again
More completely or entirely
Than I do right now
And you aren't here to sweep up the pieces
Or glue me back together
With wry placation
Through squinted eyes
And unspoken adoration
So I lie scattered

Black-rimmed eyes
Lips lined in tiramisu
Both betrayed by tears
And choked goodbyes

So much work to do in so little time.
To begin to mend the tattered,
Glue the broken,
Smooth the rigid.
This house is worth saving.
Get my hands dirty
Maybe cut myself a bit
All good and well
When the lights begin to flicker.

"I don't know what you see in me."
Galaxies, my love.
Worlds where everything and nothing converge.
Black holes
Blue waters
The uninhabitable
And the unknown
To study you is to explore the expanse of the universe itself.
Astronomers would marvel at the beauty inside you.

Here we stand
On the precipice of firsts
Kiss, touch, love made
I count each grain in the hourglass,
Wondering why they take so long to fall
Blessed be the hands of the Sandman
For he draws us closer with every second
On the precipice of firsts
Kiss, touch, love made
I count each grain in the hourglass,
Wondering why they take so long to fall

Soon, my love! Soon!
You will take respite in my arms.
Shut out the noise of what was
And shelter in what is.
What will be is not for us to know.
We hold fast to one simple truth
Love
Remains
Always
You will take respite in my arms.

At times, the only words I can form are I love you.
And at times, that says all I ever wanted to say.
And at times, that says all I ever wanted to say.

Moon of my night and light of my life, Let me shout my adoration from the tallest mountain peak,
So the world may know of my love for you!
Far be it from me to question how I will get there
Having no prior practice or skill.
It simply must be and so it shall.

I fall asleep holding your photos
In hopes that your face follows me
Into my dreams
For what are dreams but wishes and
Manifestations of longing
Both conscious and otherwise
Keeping you close to me
While the world slumbers
In hopes that your face follows me
Into my dreams
For what are dreams but wishes and
Manifestations of longing
Both conscious and otherwise
Keeping you close to me
While the world slumbers

Today was hard
I missed you so
But how do you miss
What you've never held?

Quaking knees and trembling hands
An inhale forgotten in total surrender
I feel the pavement slide in place
Awaiting my collapse
Yet here you are
Steady
Stabilizing
Lost in your eyes, my body releases
Any whisper of trepidation
An inhale forgotten in total surrender
I feel the pavement slide in place
Awaiting my collapse
Yet here you are
Steady
Stabilizing
Lost in your eyes, my body releases
Any whisper of trepidation

Countdown
But from what?
From the time my heart stops
Slamming into my chest
With elation?
From the realization
That you're mine?
Until the day I say - ?
No.
Always counting down
To a miniscule implosion
Whether real or otherwise
Far from you
But only for now
But from what?
From the time my heart stops
Slamming into my chest
With elation?
From the realization
That you're mine?

Trembling limbs and weakened knees
I shudder with every inhale
"It was only a kiss..."
The meeting of lips that has yet to occur
Except only in whispers to misshapen pillows
Is it fear or longing that fuels these racing thoughts?

How impossibly does word and
Vision and song
Express the blooming of
Adoration and longing!
Not for lust or fleeting
Gratification
But for the eyeshine of hope
In our intertwined twilight
A labyrinth of possibilities
Risks taken in the name of
Palpitations
Still I try
For you are worthy
Of devotion
Vision and song
Express the blooming of
Adoration and longing!
Not for lust or fleeting

But for the eyeshine of hope
In our intertwined twilight
