plum red

Plum Red #1

Red with moist-earth pungency
Breathe it in, vapors warm & swell
Taste, swallow, breathe again

Curls of smoke, grey twirl umber
Patchouli, breathe it in
Acrid hot incense, breathe it in

Candle-snap, match-scent sharp
Breathe it in, sienna light crackles
Ember-heat flame mounting

Breathe it in, fingertips graze
Lips touch lips, apricot-redolent
Exhale softly, breathe it in

Burgundy plum-mouth on skin, salt-wet tang
Cinnabar-shiver, savor, breathe it in
Breathe deep purple

Breathe

Again


Plum Red #2

Red with earth-moist pungency
Breathe it in ~ vapors warm & swell
Taste swallow ~ breathe again

Lower the cup and meet my eyes

Match-snap warm candlewax
Breath it in ~ fingertips graze
Sienna ember ~ mounting flame

smile
shy
sly

Smokey tendrils' ochre twirl
Patchouli umber ~ breathe it in
Sweet hot incense ~pull me in

Breathe deep and chest touch breast
Lips brush soft ~ apricot redolent
Exhale slowly ~ breathe me in

Plum-mouth on skin savor salt-wet tang Cinnabar-shiver ~ breathe it in
Breathe deep purple

Breathe...

Again
