the room smelled sweet 

sweetness a mix between

the sterile and calm

a sweet temptation just out of my reach 

This is from a much longer story in verse I'm writing, so it's quite out-of-context, but I really liked how this stanza turned out.  Sometimes, like today, just one perfect-seeming part lights up my day.

To me,

The words hope

And light

Are interchangeable;

To me,

Perhaps it is hope

That will let us see clearly
