You dress in nectar,
in the scent
of symphonies,
a melody for strings
solo violin
and a base of drums
at night the single flute
at dawn the woodwinds blow
set in major C
with minor variations
on the cembalo
when we briefly part.
with crescendos
from largo to presto
potions and vials,
your nectar follows, leads
me in utmost harmony.

Björn Rudbergs writings 
Your poem fits so well with the image!
Always fun to find a good picture
synesthesia is really intriguing!
Love the photo and musically inspired verses Bjorn. My favorite part is the opening verses, dress in nectar is great imagery.
Thank you… I wanted to mix scent with music,…
I can feel your nose at my neck, breathing me in. :::swoon:::
Sniff sniff
A certain lightness is creeping into your poetry….the darkness of winter is seeping away, methinks…the melody and aroma here are definitely in harmony…
Maybe you are right… but somtimes you have to embrace the light.
And I loved your haibun… the inncence of the prostitute is a powerful point.
Such beautiful musicality throughout your poem, Björn, and great use of sibilance in ‘the scent of symphonies’. I especially enjoyed:
‘at night the single flute
at dawn the woodwinds blow’.
Thank you… sometimes poems just start from a simple stream of consciosness.
Oh lord, the cliffs we leap getting whiffs of that nectar! Cascades into billowy sweetness forever – till it’s time to decide who handles the remote tonight.
Ha… maybe if there is enough nectar there will be no need for a remote.
A wonderfully sensual poem, filled with the pleasure of music and sweet scents.
An awesome musical feast

Sweet stuff, this nectar!
A sensual poem…of the senses.
This is glorious, delicious! You had me at that first line.
Oh, I do love musically inspired sensual poetry. That photo is perfectly paired with you sweet nectar of words.
I ❤️ the dress in nectar imagery! The way you’ve captured the ever-changing effect of music is awesome! 🤩 The image beautifully fits with the poem, making it a ravishing read…I love how the poem makes me want to learn all the instruments..!!!!
