My Five Senses
You fill up my senses
with a breath from the heavens
wafting fragrant jasmine scents in night's leaven,
as it rises slowly calm and free
greeting both eye and ear to see;
listen attentive and hear
the heartbeat of the world right here,
within the confines of the starry sky
blushing beneath a crescent moon rise,
while clouds drip rain upon the tongue
salty brine flavors of two lovers, foolish, young.
Light falls upon my shoulder
touching the new day that smolders
beneath the effortless gleaming light,
unceremonius tranquil escape from night
the simple place within the heart
stirred and trembling out of the dark
my every sense of you.
