Lovenotes

Lovenotes

©2016 Susan Noyes Anderson

Each whiff of Mama's bread

rose in his heart

infused his head

with wafting warmth

and scented joy.

He was a happy boy.

Her perfume graced the air:

Light citrus

buried in her hair

so soft yet spicy

in its way,

pushed all his cares away.

Outdoors, each breath smelled new.

Bright green bore fruit

of orange hue

and flowers white

as blossomed bliss.

Fresh juice, the sweetest kiss.

Aflutter on the line,

sheets swaddled him

in fragrance fine

as sacheted lovenotes,

potpourri

of sacred memory.
