Gold

Patchouli moments
scent together-time. Aphrodisiac--
yet not in explicit terms. More
an intrinsic knowing. Effusive aura
surrounding us--
in that elusive, ethereal glowing
that binds us. Seen, remarked upon by others
we place no elegant words, rather
say we stick.

Are indelibly stuck--a symbiosis
where one heart is shared with each ...
half his in me, half mine in him.
Very breath shared as fuel
upon our hearth.
The karats grow exponentially--
pure, malleable, entwisted
every bit as the patchouli wafts
in sense with our being.
