Disasters, Delights and Other Detours - 76. Scented Skyscrapers
Three skyscraper poems for someone special. Many thanks to @AC Benus for his kindness and patience in making these better.
Cardamom
makes me remember you
as I grind its seeds ever finer,
releasing long forgotten scents and fantasies
which linger on my tongue's memory;
filling my moments with
sweet perfume.
Turmeric,
with cumin together,
reminds my nostrils of the sunshine
kissing your skin by the end of an afternoon --
one spent laughing and working dark soil,
preparing the seeds for
our warm bed.
Cinnamon
twitches at my senses
like hairs tickling my nose at your nape
when dawn breaks on September's first frosty morning,
awakening me, breath by warm breath
'neath the extra blanket
of your touch.
If you feel moved to comment or reflect, I'm always happy to see what you have to say.
