Your Vanilla

vanilla scent

Altered Google Image

shower cascades down as
steam rises it brings
a delicious moment
and i inhale the
fragrance of
vanilla

it carries me along
as the breeze does
a flight of fancy
eyes closed
i lean toward
a revery

i breathe in the scent
of candles of
fresh vanilla sent
to me of you
and your
memory

found in a distant past
to the smell of
baking in your
kitchen with
warm cookies
but alas

i realize you are gone
but you are here
and really never
far as i inhale
always your
vanilla

Nature’s Mirror

Filtered warmth reaches
out caressing window panes
roof tops in the dawn of
a chilling Fall morning

Yellow golden orb with
rays so real they feel as
a solid mass of butter a
tongue tasting delicious

Every surface a reflection
gleaming it’s majesty tinted
ecstasy held as in nature’s
mirror coveting it’s own
