Start with Rose
the stereotype
but make it heady shadows
not a bouquet
but a bedroom
Next is Amber
the gold from trees
spicy, warm, soft
the way your skin smells when you shiver
Follow up with Leather
natural, soft, tough, strong
binds you to dark deeds worth doing
Finish with Smoke
organic, woody, lost then found in a forest
comes from the fire you've just burned
