Unlikely Mix
A Hint of Love
By ROCK aka Andrea Polla (Simmons)Published 2 years ago • Updated 2 years ago • 1 min read
Like turmeric, pomegranate, and cumin,
Your scent fills the room with exotic spice
Pungent scents of our newness exhale around our discovery
Circling like a dancing nymph in your hot, brassy flesh
Ochre light seeps in, cinnamon sweat soothed by the cool, midnight air
Dainty, silver droplets fall upon the sturdy moon
Lightening flashes across our future brew
Desert orange, your cheeks flush
A mixture of clay and clover
Cabbage and okra
We long to be the same
We grope for the chance to blend
We are an experiment
Unlikely ingedients combined
By chance

Loved your use of language here :) This line was wonderful, 'Ochre light seeps in, cinnamon sweat soothed by the cool, midnight air'.
