Somber Evening
The past remains,
While scent fades,
For the empty bottle,
A work of art to throttle
Imagination sculpted.
Romance secure buttons,
Passion only unbuttons,
If somber evening bottled,
Lingers to long to be poured.

... the past remains while scent fades... so true. Smells trigger me - I often smell something and suddenly think of particular situations or people... this made me think of that. Interesting take on the prompt!

Sounds right, the situation may pass with the smell remains. Like a smoker's clothes, the car, the room, wherever. My bout with COVID in March seems to lingered long, even now 17 months later.

A bottle can be such a thing of beauty, but filled it' even better.
