At the Rise of Night

Arcane seem her black eyes, indistinct the Delphic gaze, impossible to read her, unknown to me are space and time. Her face opened above me like the night. She whispers and yet her lips do not move.
She cleanses my mind with menthol from myrtle, rains down on me with flowers of bitter marigold, the strictly aromatic snails of anise, and covers me with leaves of herb-spicy bay. Ethereal shimmers the semi-silk balm, her dark eyes like dimming stars. Eucalyptus hisses she with a stern face. I do not yet understand her words.
Then she beds me in bitter earth of dark patchouli under mists of myrrh, which balsamically already brush over the balm, in it small cinnamon dots of cassia glowing, she rubs dry shoots and twigs onto my body, herb-sweet and woody and sharp like fresh nutmeg.
Patchoul eucalyptus she conjures my balsamic bed, which now becomes boggier, softer, and deeper. I sink on a cedar bark into the eucalyptus earth, resinous, warm and balsamic and yet medicinally ethereal. Am I connected with the goddess forever, anointed, preserved, and immortal?
After six or seven hours she has quietly disappeared, so long she had stayed close to me.

It cleanses your mind and moves it with flowers and words, so that it can tell us these images.

I guess you fell for a scammer. But I have to say: She couldn't have picked an easier target.

Wonderfully described. Kaleidoscopic words, playful and compact like a Rubik's Cube.

Wonderful wordplay. As for the scent, I’ll pass on eucalyptus, menthol, bay leaf, and anise.

That sounds very nice and quite unusual - you definitely have to like the ethereal element to feel comfortable with this scent. Laurel wreath for you!

Very well written! You're describing a wild eucalyptus-chouli high. Sounds like a fever dream.
Or a horror movie, but a pretty aromatic one.

Always a pleasure to read and associate, your telegraphs from Arkania, your rendezvous with goddesses, your messages from balsamic beds, your adventures and dives on cedar barks...

Your poetic writing evokes transcendent eroticism. The pyramid is more like a healing balm, but who knows if one doesn't influence the other?

If patchouli and eucalyptus are in the scent, it’s not for me :-D But the story is great as always!
(Thank goodness the goddess wasn’t in my order).

In reality, it probably smells like a eucalyptus cough syrup for rubbing on. And there's actually no eucalyptus in it...
It has bold names, that's for sure, but you probably can't find the scents anywhere anyway.

You've conjured up some menthol-orb patchouli images again, I'm telling you, it's nutmeg! I must have been briefly connected with the goddess too... Another great comment!

"Dark sides" can definitely be seductive and tempting, and this one surely belongs to that category - I believe! Very nice comment!

I just read "intensely aromatic horror," but neither the scent nor the comment evokes that for me :-) On the contrary... it sounds wonderful.
