Russell Sivey Poet Free verse

Inner Senses

I writing to appease to my inner senses
First may the thoughts feel
Will they harbor in some emotions
From gestures created by love
A grand craftsmanship
Next may I smell the salted sea
The wafting of a blown out candle
The inner workings of roses inside my nose
Outside do I see the lighthouse
Burning just for my eyes to see
And how I see the trees growing vastly
With leaves of gold in Autumn
I taste the honey from the courageous bees
Leaving joy to my taste of sweetness
And water so tasteless, but also oh so good
However the taste of mint
From the leaves of a plant
Is so cool in the mouth
And then I can hear
The destination of the animals and the sea
Morning doves and the dolphins bring glorious sounds
A pleasure to bestow upon me
All these senses compiled together
Brings an experience like no other
Full of life with exact desirability
I feel all of these
With emotions of grandeur I write
I chronicle these events
To bring enlightenment to my soul
And for all to see
The joys of my thoughts
As through any possible day

Connie Gildersleeve July 13, 2013 at 5:26 PM Russell never so well expressed - Perception of all things possible with the essence of our poetic senses in which viewers look beyond the words to something universal and profound, making what we write seem real. I believe Skat will find the to be an excellent entry for her contest. Warm Smiles, Connie

Poet Tacito July 12, 2013 at 2:11 PM It's good to finally make your acquaintance! Your lines tapped into the senses strong. A quote that I was reminded of as I read this: "You may not yet be where you want to be. But, be glad you're not where you used to be." Nicely done!
