Pheromones are chemicals capable of acting like hormones outside the body of the secreting individual, to affect the behavior of the receiving individuals according to Wikipedia. They are messengers that affect behavior. This is a little poem about how they can linger after the source has disappeared.
Pheromones
I sense a something in the air
pheromones that remind me of you
wafting on the summer breeze
as tempting as a subtle tease
I cant forget you
Your fragrance lingers everywhere
on silken pillows and towels
I hold them close to breathe your scent
can’t part with them although you went
away and forgot me
I search the places where we met
the ruined water mill
the garden you liked full of roses
where time always seemed to stand still
how could you forget me?,
Your pheromones are fading now
telling me its really goodbye
my heart is filled with such despair
tears pour down from my eyes
don’t tell me to forget you
Come back to me my darling
all I do is sit and sigh
come back to me, come back to me
before I fade away and die
Please don’t forget me…….
