he was an unscented,
Ivory soap kind of guy
who liked white socks
faintly tinged with Clorox
so when she drifted into
his life like a hint of mimosa
on a summer breeze,
he was unprepared
for mornings fragrant
with the tang of lemongrass
and brown-sugared figs
nights redolent with cherry
blossoms, herb-tinged eucalyptus,
honeyed pomegranates
but he learned that
sometimes life demands
hearts as intertwined
as tangled vines and lives
chaotic with living
uncontrollable moments
of loving without fear
even when afraid

for once, he tells the truth. - llp - nov'09
