The Aesthete's Alphabet - C is for Cinnamon

 

Cinnamon

Burnished talc, I'd mistake it for cocoa if not for its scent,
tell-tale and irresistible

Pied Piper, spice-song filling the air, in anticipation they follow invisible tether, a chorus of "Mmmm, that smells good!", their love-song back

Redolent intoxication, breathing in present, exhaling the past

The taste of Mama's love, the feel of home

A portkey to childhood, stirring memories spicy but sweet.

I'm going to pick up the pace a bit, else this series will take me the whole year! So the posts will be coming thick and fast...stay tuned.

 

Till next time
