Nutmeg

Just the hint
Of scent, flavour
Reminds me of
Custard delights
Coolly slipping down
Soft, sweet tones
A waft of nutty
A thousand memories
Cherished in time
But not remembered
A spice of enjoyment
I would not think to choose
Nor realised I needed
Surprising me with enjoyment
It brings me back
To a time of warmth
Of laughter
Of nutmeg and you
How did I never know
What my world lacked
Before there was you
