Herb Song
I note where once her
Feet and skirts caressed
The meadow lightly
There the scent of wild
Herbs rose to satisfy the
Senses and then did follow
Wild mint and oregano
Each scythe scared yet served
To perfume my ladies hem
Mowed and harvested before
A pre dawn swift departure
And leaving not a scar behind
Sweet lemon balm and sage
When placed upon
The pulse of lovers then
Did serve to rouse and
Please then calm
The most ardent of libidos
Yes where her
Feet and skirts caressed
The meadow lightly
Twas there the very scent
And taste of wild herbs rose
To treat their bodies fondly

Tis my true delight and same greetings to you on this bright August morn dear friend..............
Erm, greetings on this wet morn too! Here it is anyway, I'm glad someone's enjoying themselves. Fido won't let me have any 'ardent libido'. He says it will be too much for me! lol. I wish I was less sheltered in life sometimes. lol.
Fido needs a holiday.. thank you for checking in Orchidee.. tis appreciated.... Neville
No dinner today, for the smell of herbs is the appetizer, and the entrée is the presence of me lady.
I can see the meadows and smell the herbs and feel her presence, by reading your words alone.
I almost always smile when I notice you have visited my friend, often even before I have read you comments... thank you so much.... Neville
Wonderfully seasoned poem! Arouses the senses....Very nice poem today!
Mission accomplished ... and thank you my friend...
Absolutely!! you are so welcome
This one transported me to that very same meadow, and I felt as if I could smell the herbs mentioned. Very nice write!
That is a really nice thing to say.. Thank you PoeticBiscuit.. I am delighted... Neville
Sense of smell reigns supreme for it takes the mind to where it was when wonders were performed, where life was sharp and pointed, where days were full and nights exhausted and love.... love was loving.
those were the days and we were those knights..... cheers and thanks for jogging my memory sire.... N
Thanks for sharing NEVILLE ~ very very aromatic indeed. As part of my Job in Applied Science ~ I teach Food Science and the whole panoply of Herbs is very very important. They can make or break a dish. Many Poeple over season and with Meat it is better to stick with one key flavour ! Lamb ROSEMARY ~ Beef HORSERADISH ~ Pork APPLE ~ Turkey REDCURRENT ~ Venison GARLIC & SAGE ~ Duck LEMON ZEST & ROSEMARY and Gammon is ameliorated by THYME !
Angela & I love to cook and when we are married (2020) we will hav e a large kitchen and a large vegetable & herb garden ! ANGELA uses lots of essential oils (Geraniol ~ Limonene ~ Pinene ~ Jasmine ~ Rose Oil ~ Coconut Oil etc in AROMATHERAPY !
Blessings & Peace & Joy
Yours BRIAN & ANGELA 💙🧡💙🧡
thank you the pair of ya.. feel free to scratch n sniff the page any time you are passing.... Cheers,
Neville
