Senses
Oct 13 2008


All 5 senses
maybe 6;
the world as we know it,
our narrow spectrum of light.
So we learn how to live,
stumbling about in darkness,
startled
by sudden sounds.
And then, growing older
grow into ourselves.

Hear, listen, focus —
on the music
where you can lose yourself,
utterly immersed;
on her voice
whispering into your ear.

See, look, observe —
every shift in her face,
her serpentine limbs;
every inch of her skin
you want to go deeper.

Reach, touch, feel —
her desire
pushing back;
her warm smooth surface,
at body heat
and heating up.

Nibble, taste, savour —
this instrument
of exquisite pleasure,
your wet and greedy tongue.

Breathe, sniff, smell —
then inhale her
molecule by molecule,
until you are one.
