The Scent Of Lilac Poem by Mary Nagy

The Scent Of Lilac



The simple scent of lilac
sends my mind to a far off land.
A place where you and I can go
just walking hand in hand.

Each spring I see the buds peek out
and I know it's coming soon.
This is the time of year we love
just staring at the moon.

I love to sit out on the porch
and listen to you sigh.
This is where I yearn to be...
that ol' lilac bush nearby.

That scent just sends a shiver
right up my whole spine.
It's this that makes me realize....
I can't believe you're mine.
