smoke from an incense stick
twisting all around
candle flame burning

you are in that flame.
perhaps you don't realize
you are part of everything I
think, do, am.

when I light a candle
it is for you
as is the cinnamon
the purple
"egyptian plum"
... everything.

It's 1966 again...darkened room just off Haight Street in San Francisco...I can smell the incense, see the flame.  Great imagery, Portia....nicely done.  Hardrock

Another beautiful piece, Portia. Very atmospheric imagery!

Feel the smoke in my eyes...Very apt description of that feeling of being so immersed in someone..
