Intoxicated



The soft snowy wind sang from across
from afar, from beyond,
swept through the trees of decades.

Memories cornered to the soft couch
evoking colours of life’s
flowers, chrysanthemums, daffodils,
gladiolus, heather, amaryllis, magnolia,
marigold, touching all subtleties.

Invigorating the senses the coffee
shined, milky brown foaming
and weaving patterns with words
encapsulated in books, words
solid, birthed from the winds of decades,
from the memories of flower touched lives
brewing with coffee, encapsulated in books,
reaching back to minds
resting under the shades of books,
forgetting and remembering…

  2. Aroma of coffee (and the gurgle of it being made in the traditional Mediterranean way) is a very powerful trigger for wonderful memories. Did you intend the repetition of 'encapsulated in books', by the way?

  12. Coffee and books are good combinations for a quiet relaxation. If one is part of the book then the feelings are further enhanced. Nicely Sreeja!
