THE TASTE OF OUR WORDS
31 January 2012

Gather the flavours
of my words
and yours
from all our days
and touch-bind them,
intermingled as they were born,
into rainbow pages,
in high-skyed flight,
and savour them
in closed-eye ecstasy
as vintage wine,
holding the aftertaste
of them and us
in sacred reverence

to smile your heart
breeze-gentle
in meetings drear
and on sighways wild and free

these, our remembrance paintings
our whisper masterpieces of now
our promises of future canvasses
we have yet to flood
with colours the sky has not yet birthed.

The remembrance of such a feast is sustenance through the starving times... and this is absolutely beautiful!!

This tastes so good and has so much flavor. Much like spimoni (spelling please?) ice cream or a handful of jelly beans or spice drops. Love how it melds into my mind.

Smiles and thanks, Alison. I don’t know what spimoni is (so sorry, can’t help with the spelling, lol), but yes, ice-cream, jelly beans, spice drops (though I have never heard of those either, but they sound lovely) and a matured red wine with an aftertaste to dream on . . .
