obsidian coffee
I have just written the poem “Perfume”. Would you like to have a read?

(I think I’m still missing that flow to the structure. But I had fun writing it! :)

………………………

Perfume

The laptop with its player.
Animation characters smile.
Japanese motion masterpiece -
I put my earphones on.

J-pop on the rise, two-dimensional colours,
Then messages delivered to my phone.

Emotions repeat and their meanings lost.
Electricity fails -
Your message glows.

You were there, behind the cafeteria
Ignorant to the scent of coffee, lassie, fruit juice.
Ignorant to the half-open curtains,
Ignorant to the cushions beside you.

I looked away to the old bookshelves -
Antedated olfactory sensation.
Was I here, caressed by your obsidian windows?
They saw me touching the polished oak.

Your back warmed the sofa
In a fraternal embrace.
Your perfume licked the gentle fibres
Like clouds on my cheek.

I didn’t ignore the curtains.
I didn’t ignore the cushions.
The whiff of coffee I inhaled -
But I ignored your gemstone eyes.

Very nice! But you should try to evoke emotion more.
