Juicy milky coconut meat
Ripe strawberry skins dipped in ice water
Feminine wildflowers from fields out West
Blend harmoniously with proper English rose
Blushing honeysuckle petals
Sunny daffodils
Silly golden sunflowers, even if just for the hue
The fiery dragon flowers breathe the base of
Warm African vanilla
Faithful background notes of wine and tobacco
Finished with a melody of
Decadent milk chocolate
Freshly crushed coffee beans
And the scent of you.
What I smell like when I’m falling in love.

I am fascinated with scent. I decided to write a series of poems about the “smells” of my people and memories and feelings. Written 9/12/2019
