The Scent

My thoughts turned to the scent, the aroma alluring aroma that drew me Then, oh! the shape which made me want to touch, hold, caress taste..Oh how sweet upon my lips, tongue coating my teeth and mouth with pleasure. Just a little warmth from the mint infused into your sweet sticky stick Old Fashioned Soft Peppermint Lickerty split in a few seconds gone, left__ only a vague memory... I found some soft peppermint during Christmas which brought back memories of my dad who enjoyed that kind of Peppermint Candy...
