Spice Rack - 19. Satiation

Summer is coming to an end. I found this neglected bottle of spice and just had to open it before the equinox.

Breathless,

flushed, euphoric,

chests heaving, pulses race,

all thought dispersed like mist before

the sun;

no words:

every mindless outcry silenced

in all-consuming fire;

and love, panting,

remains.

If this agreed with you, or if you found the taste disagreeable, please feel free to tell me so. I would be glad of your comment.

This offering is seasoned perfectly, Chef.  No disagreeable taste here ;)  I especially liked "all thought dispersed like mist before the sun" . :)

How to describe the taste of a delicious, unforgettable moment? That instant in time before the brain kicks in with its need to edit, comment or chatter?  It is a delectable second or two. Thanks for reading and for your comment.

Wow! In 28 words you have painted such a wonderful, sensual, loving picture. Each and every word adding its own particular hue. Bravo, dear friend.  👏👏

You are so very kind to comment like this. As I said to Val, I hoped to capture an instant, just one moment. If you think it worked, then I can sleep easy tonight.

A lovely aftertaste on the pallet this fine Friday morning.

 

Is this what the wine connoisseurs call "a long finish?" In any event, I am glad the taste agrees with you. Thank you for reading, and for your comments.

A tasty morsel,

delectable

Increased salivation

aiding

in the swallowing

Consummation

of a dish served

with just the right amount

of seasoned panache

Aaaahhhhhh....  

 

:worship:

With single change of word, this delectable delight will become lamentable dejection...

 

Rejection

 

Breathless,

flushed, euphoric,

chests heaving, pulses race,

all thought dispersed like mist before

the sun;

no words:

every mindless outcry silenced

in all-consuming fire;

and love, panting,

recoils.

 

A sensational offering as always.

Oh, my...how you saw that...amazing. Your eye and poetic sense is as keen as ever. Perhaps I should have followed this path: it is certainly dramatic and unlooked for.  Thank you so much for this insight.

Breathtaking. You capture the old-as-man concept of a love so pure it burns away everything else. Brilliant, my friend.

Thank you, AC. It is a moment to be captured, though it flees quickly, like a spark, like a flame. I really appreciate your thinking here.
