Body Odour Poem by RAVIKIRAN ARAKKAL

She came closer to smell
His body odour,
Which arose since
The perfume he wore
Has worn over,
Bent over to him
Did she stand
For closeness
She felt so attracted
To him, and wondered
Why people ever
Used the perfumes
Since the natural
Smells can be
So attractive,
But yet many hated
The smells emanated
By the body
And its discards,
Yet all carried it
With some shame
Which non knew why?
