Praline in D Minor

Seeing through the eyes of synesthesia for Selene's contest.

as my fingers dance upon

the keys of my baby grand

I see midnight colliding

with dawn and feel

hot fudge slithering

over vanilla ice cream

walking along a wooded trail

I hear daylight raining down

to kiss the cheeks of the trees

and I taste honeysuckle as the vines

climb into my eye sockets

plucking apples from my mind

the blue of the sky floods my mouth

with the flavor of raspberries

and my ears fill with laughter

as I watch clouds chase each other

while the bashful sun plays

hide and seek behind them

when darkness falls

I sit at my baby grand

and pound on the keys

letting my ears sink their teeth

into the rich nutty chocolate

of praline in D minor

Now this is life lived in a synesthesia sensation… The keys displaying sweet sounds to treat the mind, eyes that devour the world as it is taken in, honeysuckle saccharine refreshing droplet kisses and tart raspberry sky leting loose a storm of passion… I love the overwhelming sixth sense in this, the sensation of your words…

Great Write!

This was yummy and raw with emotion. PMS, she's craving chocolate and having a tantrum? My humor is cracked, sorry. :) You write with an elegance that I admire.
