"Love in Five Senses"
Listen, hear me
The sound of my voice grows like lilies in the garden
Each tip curls at the corner of its own scent
I can hear myself far away
Like a self-conceited bastard
That travails among the person that screamed my name once
Listen, hear me
Breathe upon your neck
Like a wild wolf with hair sprouting up from each skin’s pore
Tying my soul in hunger for your love
Caught between an ant and its hill
Climbing up you queen of nature’s thrill
…..
Sound, near me
Let me into the secret of your air
Like fingers in a swirl of water
Falling in disgrace from fear and cruel utters
You’re nature’s daughter
Your body naked upon my doorstep
Gliding on the concrete floor beneath these almond ceilings
Sound, near me
Like a rock upon my mind
Unravel this gravel that sips into my heart
I am yours just for these nights
Laying our bodies bare
Hypnotized by your stare
…..
Listen, hear me
Sound, near me
…..
Breathe, within me
Like the wind’s cousin’s sister
Confused by relations unclear
With feathers stuck within my bones
Unbroken wings will fly away this once
Floating without a tail to guide me here
Oil paintings on the wall
That was all I had to steer me
Breathe, within me
Assure me your deepest feelings
Whisper softly into my abode
And let the air carry these words into your soul
Like the warmth in your body amidst the cold
…..
Taste, with you
Let our lips collide in haste
Articulating these gestures about my tongue
Like sweetness upon your breasts
The pleasures that drip between each drop
All consumed within our mouths
Taste, with you
Pour your heart out into this glass of wine
While we are drunk with our own passion
As we kiss gently
And let the breeze caress the contours of our faces
Like the eyes and lips of our love spread out across these places
…..
Breathe, within me
Taste, with you
…..
Listen, hear me
Sound, near me
Breathe, within me
Taste, with you
…..
Let love replace our senses true
The fourth and fifth are me and you
