    Poem Commentary

    You know how a song, a place or thing can take you right back in time?  I associated orange ginger with someone from my past.  It's one of those aroma therapy type scents.

    Orange Ginger

    Orange Ginger
    (Deborah Taylor)

     I've grown to love this fragrance
    so nostalgic
    permeating the air
    greeting me when I enter my space
    reminding me of a time no longer
    but not forgotten
    I tell myself move forward
    but still I punish myself with the aroma
    of orange ginger
    It holds within it's bouquet
    a lingering promise
    never quite spoken
    never kept
    never meant
    only anticipated
    by a foolish heart
    I go to sleep with orange ginger in the air
    I need a new beginning
     but don't know where to start
    Orange Ginger's everywhere

    Hmmm no orange ginger to be found, I must test my female friends and see if they can accommodate for your words have left me yearning to further experience the aroma,,, I like the way this is written and related a scent to the sensual sensation of a place and person. 10

    Thank You, Soulwriter. Orange Ginger is available at Bath and Body Works in the aroma therapy section. Lotions, bath gells, oils, candles, shampoo and condioners all in the same scent. I admit I still love the scent though it no longer possesses the same nostalgic attachment.
