five senses -

all my senses ... long to make sense ... of YOU what greets my gaze is perfect imperfection lines and curves and shapes and colors and movements mingled with sacred intent in sublime symmetry - features that alone might be found disconcerting collectively arranged in ways that steal the steadiest of breaths and define envy for the gods themselves ... then, a scent ethereal ... weaving its quiet way into my head and blood bewitching my mind with a rarefied air of you and Je Reviens - an intoxicating mix of essences, visceral aromas that rival breezes from the of Gardens of Babylon and send the mind spinning ... tumbling ... to say your voice is music would be doing it an extraordinary injustice like some anointed dove from heaven it lilts on the atmosphere and when you press it tenderly to my ear in wafted whispers its voltaic song penetrates my coursings and ignites my core harmony and heat and will ... aria and fire ... I live for the feel of you ... your skin is warm satin and silk a catkin corporeality - electric and responsively raw sexy little bumps erupt at my touch your perky bow lips - an alluring mix of raspberries and chili peppers and the indescribable perfection of your hand in mine as though your fingers were created from the spaces between ... and oh, your taste ... the many flavors of you are like a banquet of rare piquancy your mouth a tangy, sugary bubblegum treat dermal surfaces, savory and salty - a tease for where they lead … and your unique angelic nectar like some exotic potion created and sanctified to bind my marrow biochemically and render me ... unhinged … yes - all my senses ... long to make sense of YOU yet I pray like a child that they never do for the joy is in the journey ... and the divine … discovery. ~ 5th Place ~ in the "Five Senses" Poetry Contest, Viv Wigley, Judge & Sponsor.
