“Cinnamon bites and kisses simultaneously.”

Vanna Bonta

Soothing but stimulating
Calming but sexual arousing
Good for moments of comfort and warmth
Tremendous in spicing and heating
Traditional and modern
Improves health but in excess can be toxic
Promotes blood flow in all areas
Manages blood pressure
Beneficial for aging heart and brain
In ancient times it was rare and valuable
and was regarded as a gift fit for kings
can help your body repair tissue damage
reduces risk of heart diseases.

That’s what you are for me
this mix of good and bad
bringing me health and happiness
but also doubts and despair

But still I want you near
Can’t forget your smell
You soothe my constant fear

reminding me to myself
by protecting my heart and my brain
from its inexorable self made complications.
