Poem
Our eyes amazing used day and night We use when gazing, but having no sight Being in constant darkness, relying on a guide No visual awareness are you indoors or outside The sound of a beat, the rhythm is it that clear If you bust an ear drum I ask how would you hear What one is saying ,take heed how do you manage Having to lip read ,of course the use of sign language Smell of desire, a woman’s perfume, I like white musk One thing I don't like in a room full of damp and dust Having no sense of smell, appreciating what one sees All these scents but can't tell only when we too sneeze Taste buds watering every hour we take for granted What is sweet and sour, what’s good and really rancid Food sometimes it's laced with garlic, sugar and spice If we had no sense of taste, it's knowing bad from nice That feeling of skin on skin what Is rough and smooth It invigorates the our senses within and that dose sooth But no sense of touch what’s then worse than going blind What would hurt so much if appreciating it only in your mind WRITTEN JUNE JULY 2012 INSPIERD BY THE FACT YEARS AGO I HAD SERIOUS OPERATION TO LEFT EYE, HAD NO VISION FOR OVER A MONTH DUE TO ACCIDENT SCARED THE LIFE OUT OF ME HAVING TO RELIE ON OTHER PEOPLE I THINK SOME THINGS PEOPLE DO TAKE FOR GRANTED ALSO MY NOSE WAS BROKEN AT SAME TIME THAT AFFECTED BOTH MY TASTE AND SMELL EVERYTHING TASTED THE SAME AND TOUCH I COULD NOT FEEL MY LEGS, PERHAPS THE SHOCK ALSO YEARS BEFORE I WAS AT THE AGE OF TWELTH THIRTEEN WHEN SMASHED MY HEAD OF POST HORSING AROUND AND LOST MY HEARING FOR FEW DAYS DUE TO KNOCKING THE FLUID IN MY HEAD THAT IM TOLD CONTROLS YOUR BALANCE THE FEELING KIND OF LIKE POKING YOUR EAR DRUM REPEATDLY NOT NICE ALSO INSPIERD BY OTHER POEM ELEMENTS OF LIFE Just trying here to give some insight into what it feels like not haveing these senses THANKS FOR EVERYONES INSPERATIONXX ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// NOTE TO ALL READERS NEW AND OLD JUST TWEEKED A LITTLE ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, note readded to soup not changed just couple words missplaced in better context And put the lines into better context shortetr verse
