Word flowers

            redolent blossoms

of sticky nectar

                           my mind 

             buzzed by  

meaning

                 moves from petal  

to petal 

              to petal 

pollen spray of sentiment

              dust blooms

                    astral floating 

   settling on the

infinite 

      moment 

 

I was in love 

   once

          and believed  

that word

          and so it was 

until  

         it wasn't

but in memory 

          the scent is still 

so

        sweet.
