Smudge Pot
By Scott Newport
Even the wrinkles
In her velvet
Mystify my
Thoughts of
What lay beneath
Her soft creases
Press against
My selfish
Needs
Standing along side
I pretend to listen
But only hear
Her leaves
Rustle as
Swirling smoke
Caress her shape
Oh my love
Lost to the
Cruelness of
The day
And last nights
Frost

| Very cool...!! This makes me try and imagine what exactly it is that you are talking about.. a rose came to mind.. but even that is not a certainty for me as I reread it.... Thank you for sharing! |
