Centro poem ( second line is mine)

By Stephanie Sideways

Comforting smell breathed at very entering
'tween fine leaves, drank of wisdom left
Like wealthy men who care not how they give
So smelling their sweetness would be no theft

None of these lines are familiar to me but the first one should end with an exhalant "OHhh..." probably, unless coming into a warm house on a cold holiday, and smelling a roasting turkey in the oven maybe? Cheers!

AND - your second line reeks of sexual innuendo too, but then that could just be me, thanks Stephy!
