Senses

You listen but you do not hear The sound of love changing gear You look but you do not see, That special love close to thee You touch but you do not feel A love so deep never to heal You do not savour, though you taste The meal of love goes to waste To find real love with no pretences With your heart combine your senses

Nice Roger, if only more people would use their true senses.

Well written, Roger. Since you said, "I do not know" as to the form, I will share. You have written a couplet sequence. A couplet is a two line poem with perfect end rhyme.

This is so sad, but can be so true, nicely written Rodger, and thanks for your kind words, best wishes, June.

For some people, making love seems to be a robotic function. How true that all the senses should be involved to make the experience more pleasurable. Enjoyed your poem, Roger. We have to take in all the pleasure that lovemaking offers. Best wishes, Carolyn
