about the power of touching...

Something happens to me

when a wooden match is struck

and the pacifying scent of hickory

permeates the air I breathe.



I catch myself yearning for warmed Nivea

and three drops of coconut oil,

rubbed together, on my soft, damp skin

by the palms of your strong, skilled hands.

Scents are like some wonderful worded phrase, they linger as succulent. Some drive you to find its source so you to can surround yourself in it at will.I see why you are so awarded, I applaud your talent and hope to read more and more. You appear to be one of those "scents" we long to repeat. Wonderful piece!
