Melting through cold isolation
Preserved within silky wood
Holds gentle breath in the collapse of a star
Aching through the relief of the other
Silently yelling with a caramelized tongue
Of citrus fruit and daffodils

Mint

Oh, how I wish 
I could be a mint 
Just so I could refreshen your day 
And make you feel 
that much more safe 
To be taken 
and put in your mouth 
So I could help 
and oh how I would just melt
by the taste of your tongue.
I would be there for a while 
but sooner than later
I would slowly be drifting away
Finally ending.
sometimes with a quick crunch
And other-times just slowly
But I’m glad 
I could be part of your life
And help you out 
even just for a moment
