The Aroma of Love

Tales of Gender Relations : II

The urbanization experience has a considerable influence on the experience of love between the genders. The sights, sounds, smells of the city are such a frantic draw on the senses and brings the individual to considerable activity and physical experience. However, it does one other thing, not so famous, it destroys the all important nose of the individual. This has a critical effect on his experience of love.

The scent of the other person is a major part of the relations between two people. The scent is more than mind. It is a significant experience of the passion and it is perhaps the only connection between the lovers. It entices, teases and seduces the mind .... all these, without saying too much or explaining many things. It is a free flowing stream of the amore, the aroma and ardor of love.

It is without shape, yet it is seen .... tis' without want and yet creates the greatest grasp of the unseen .... cannot be fully spoken of and yet will say mouthfuls. Ahhhh! It sighs about itself.

It is possible to say much of these to a young man, in the way a father may guide his son on about life. But how will a person tell a kid about the aroma of love?

It helps the cause of love to take some time off and tour the countryside. Or, a clever person can do a few things, from time to time, to improve the experience. He could mix a batch of aromatic stuff. Alcohol, tobacco and thyme ... with a dash of soap .... mixed and stored in an air-tight container, for a sniff on the week-ends would be great for preserving the nose for love. It is the aroma of the other person, at the tip of your nose.
