Ambrosia
Espresso
Aubergine
such decadent mouthfuls of aural opulence
designed for leisure – ripened plums
spreading like silk across the tongue
Cicada
Adagio
Susurrus
ephemeral sustenance – arousing
sighs of lovers cense and caress
with a feather breath
Petrichor
Cinnamon
Patchouli
an unfettered display tracing temperance
on the palate – unbound suspension
of savor and spice
Leather
Caramel
Lace
letters that linger as singular confections
the smallest morsels sprawl across the mind
with velvet fingers
