Honeysuckle and Cardamon Spice Reminisces

Cognac & Brandy recollections,
   sublime warmth 'tween
        smoky exhaled vapors,
wisps of  Madagascar aromatics 
       & blazes of Autumn firesides
    amidst a French Château fantasy,
  dipped in honeysuckle reminisces 
      of cardamom spice and the pungent
         zest of once upon twilit legends

Fancy a fancy's exhalation- Serene, like a hammock's cradle rocking

If this isn't an autumn dream, I don't know what is. Your phrasing is woven in this poem like a beautiful warm multi-colored blanket, perfect for wrapping up in on a chilly day.
