I had Almost Forgotten

I had almost forgotten
The taste of your lips


Until yesterday
When I peeled and portioned
A mandarin orange

And felt the same
Intoxication.

I had almost forgotten
The scent of your hair

But today I was out walking
Through the woods
And brushed against
A snow-covered pine

The balsam fragrance
Reminded me
Of the last time
Your lips touched mine

And I buried my face
In your hair
And inhaled
The fresh scent
Of snow and pines.

Hell. Wish i would be able to create those images. Just a couple of lines, and the emotions just flow up.

Congratulations. Thank you for sharing.

I just read your post on being an artist. It touched me. You know about being authentic and writing from your heart. I'm about to respond there so I will reserve my remarks. Thanks J.

From the heart. That's how I need to do my poems also. I have a few, but not enough.

you're right, John, always from the heart :)

When written from the heart, your pen tends to speak the emotional language of your heart. Giving it the perfection it requires .

Yet now wait for this, which you mention, don't know what flavor this test @johnjgeddes
