The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Moist Smoke


                    Flickering light of 
                      chandelier dims,
                         timid blinks  
                           become audacious,
                            fragrant whispers 
                             intermingle in crevices,
                            fingers orchestrate 
                           enchanting invites,
                            blazing a mystic 
                              smoke that escapes,
                                vents of love 
                                  in raging storms 
                                    of night,
                                     to envelope mists 
                                     of hushed union,
                                     beads of Aurora
                                   sparkle at dawn
