Cinnamon Kiss
My heart sings out in bliss
Sweet and rich,
my senses are heightened to an angelic high, and a satisfying burn overtakes me.
I’m left at a loss for words,
lingering in the spice of this crush, my attraction to you
I hope this feeling isn’t ephemeral,
your earth-like sweetness lures me into a somnolent state
I feel safe and serene in the shade that you have provided me
Even your bitter notes handle me with the greatest care
You’re warm and forgiving,
derived from an evergreen’s shield,
and desire keeps coming back, desperate for more
Maybe this is how it’s always been planned to happen
Floating in your fiery aroma and hoping I don’t get destroyed
You grasped my heart so rapidly,
leaving me absolutely no chance to react
Could this be it?
I feel lost within myself
Torn between loving and craving you,
So much so that my mind blurs and the tightness in my chest doesn’t pain me anymore
Your medical properties make me feel whole again,
stitching up this gaping hole in my chest, one cinnamon kiss at a time
Maybe this is all I’m meant to feel
Maybe this will never end
I hope I don’t burn you in the process,
muting your taste with my problems
But until then, your cinnamon kiss is enough
And I revel in its flavor
