"This Place"

@Uootem

can you smell the age of this place?
                          not moldy,
                                not flowery,
                    not spicy,
            not fresh,
    not stuffy
just old
like the desert would smell inside an ancient temple
              behind esoteric doors

                          not like old leather
                                          and not like old pages in a book of poetry
                              they smell too worn and musty
this place just smells like
                          ageless time
                                which doesn't have any smell to the nose
                                                          most people use their noses to smell
              but you can't smell this with your nose
                                at the least, you will look very funny trying
                      here in this place,
                              you could cut your nose off and STILL smell
the age
      here must be where god stood in the void
                                          and where we where born
                              and where we fell in love for the first time
                      and where I shared all that I felt for you
                                          and where we made our sacred vow
the age
      where time stood still,
                                  and never gave us a sense of urgency
              but we somehow knew that someday it would
                                                        for our fate was sealed before we knew it
                              and we have spent forever,
seeking to smell the age
          the age of this place, again.
