Your voice tastes saffron,
cardamom and green,
as you whisper
secrets in your sleep.
I dreamed of strawberries
but
at the break of dawn
your eyes were symphonies,
a taste of moonbeam
silver spilled.
It’s honey, silk, vermillion me
we slide together,
sleep. It’s Saturday.
Sleep by Francisco Goya
Rommy wants us to use synesthesia at toads. Soon it’s bedtime and Saturday morning.

Living on the equator but longing for snow
Passion for writing ignites my soul's momentum
A journey through the seasons with two adopted whippets, a poet and a camera
Hoping to inspire the world one word at a time.
