Sandalwood
sacred, sweet
a fleeting dream
pure heartwood
brushed my lips
center of time
Earthly beings
scent lingers on
numb fingertips
rare ritual
begin to fly
into chasms
of your deep
aromatic quality
one piece of life
the scent is
yours to keep
priceless smell
fever distilled
sandalwood lofts
into my soul
alpha-santalol
heartwood bleeds
fragrant oil
takes a toll
