Enchantment
roses, gardenia, and lavender
i drink them in
scents drift
dispersing through the breeze
subtle like dew
perfuming my busy mind
with a sweet glaze —
s l o w
d o w n.
sensations take over
thoughts recede to the background
and i just feel
instincts
sensuality
lava erupts
from the core of me.
i need this
i need to not think
i need enchantment
sips of mystery
fed by fragrant blooms
petals soft
on my restless fingertips.
i need to sit still
and not do a damn thing
except feel life’s pulse
sparks spread out like butter
and dance inside me.
something returns
a kind of wholeness
we cannot feign.
a luscious blooming
inspired
by the earth herself.
