Geranium hand soap


There is something about the smell 
Of Geranium hand soap
it takes me to another demension 
Or maybe it just takes me somewhere in my past
Maybe at that time I just used  it often
Or maybe it has a deeper meaning in my story 
I don't know
But there is something about t that makes me
Feel
Like maybe I will be ok
It seems impossible
But it is like all my memories
Are rapped up in the hand soap
Like this geramium soap is my story
My past
My present
My future
I might one day think it silly to be this 
Attached 
to this soap
But probably not
Because something about the aroma
of this geranium hand soap
makes me want to 
Try

  • Separation

    Why does the rain 
    tap on the window
    when you can't feel it?
    Why will it remind you of 
    the dew drops dancing on the grass blades in early spring,
    of August's ocean breeze spraying saltwater in your hair, 

  • Empty

    The person is empty 
    the person with no identity 
    the one with no personality 
    Who doesn't now what yesterday was like or the day before
    Know one seems to know this person anymore 
  • Understanding

    Somewhere in my past
    a sunny snow day haunts me
    the serenity 
    Feels too cliche 
    to enjoy
    I remember the glances out of the window
    on a day that finally feels like spring 
    because winter can be long and dark
