Haiku Candle

haiku candle, its steam
    crafted of purple lotus and gold —
         i tipple its loose leaf

         it’s jasmine green tea
      a lift of inner esprit
   i cling to its handle
drunk from its light

jasmine under my nose
   its green scent
        cozy

         wooziness evades
      weariness fades
   haikus invade
my Lay-Z-Boy island

         sushi-free
     in my teal sea
stretched wall to wall
