THE BATH

Melting into the porcelain basin,

Warmth engulfs my body

As I inhale the raspberry scent,

Almost tasting its sweetness.

I relax, recline, and close my eyes,

Welcoming darkness.

I surrender to the peacefulness;

Candles flickering, steam clouds billowing,

Slowly rising, taking my tensions with them.

Troubles? 

Who cares! 

There are none when I’m in my bubble bath.
