You’re my chili for a chilly day
with cinnamon in season;
your ginger is the reason —
why I stay.
You stir my stew with thyme and sage
and spice me with your fingertips;
but if you drizzle me
with pepper kisses —
I might explode.

Björn Rudbergs writings 
Watch out..pepper kisses can lead to a sneezing fit 🙂
Now that’s a spicey one! 🙂
Well this is one of my favorites of yours, of course. Very sexy.
The ginger line is my favorite — and obviously the thought of you exploding. 😉
Now you’re cooking!
That’s a great poem, Björn. I truly enjoyed “pepper kisses” and “spice me with your fingertips.” 🙂
I can’t quite go with cinnamon in chili, but in chili cook-offs, I’m sure it makes an appearance. Nice transition from the culinary to the sensual. People who love to eat are more passionate; according to Liz Taylor.
I love this…so many nuances!
Very spicy, love all those spice words building the theme.
hummm….I like the spice and the pepper kisses!
Hello Bjorn. this is toni’s neighbor. Very sexy poem she says!
Great to have you helping out Toni… say thank you to Toni.
Varsågod….
Jag skulle just fråga om det var den Svenska grannen… 🙂
Brilliant. Just brilliant.
I think this is great fun. My favourite bit was also-spice me with your fingertips.It was very sensual.
Ginger is a good reason to stay! Great write!
Nice seque from chili to sensuality!
Sounds delicious! I love the line: “your ginger is the reason —
why I stay.”
I like the variety of spices and how you used them to stir up some fun. I have used cinnamon in a turkey chile with white beans…delicious.
Hot, spicy and sizzling. Like the seasoning in this one.
I love the line “spice me with your fingertips”. It gives me two distinctly different images simultaneously.
So Spicy! I love the rhythm and rhyme.
Very nice Bjorn.
I liked the sound of these two lines:
“with cinnamon in season;
your ginger is the reason —”
Quite adorable! Love love love. I won’t requote the whole poem… just suffice it too say it’s spicy sweet.
Well done :))
Hot stuff and really quite cheeky, Bjorn!
Nice rhyme scheme, but the potential to explode with all the spiciness was the perfect way to end this yes, erotic poem.
but if you drizzle me
with pepper kisses —
I might explode.
Just imagine what spice can do. It is hot, it’ll certainly explode!

One of my favorite reasons to love fall is the spices. Love this poem!
Well seasoned, Bjorn, I like it.
What fun! Spicy stuff. 🙂
‘pepper kisses’ … now there’s a loaded images that takes one’s breath away. Smiles.
Deliciously spicy.
