The Feeling of Feeling

In my rose garden I can smell the spring coming,
listen the sound of music the whistling zephyr brings,
I taste the dew on the unfurled petals so divine,
the smoothness of silk in their velvet touch I feel.

The pristine smell of rain-soaked soil soars in the air,  
the dripping leaves vibrate with the sound of raindrops, 
the taste of purity I get pouring from the melted clouds,
their soothing touch satiates my parched throat.

I smell on you the enticing scent of a blooming woman,
sound of rustling foliage echoes in your rhythmic footsteps,
when you are on my arms, I taste sweet desire on your lips.
For my winter the warm touch of your love I shall keep.

Congratulations on your honorable mention place in the smell sound taste touch contest, Subimal. I like the garden experience and the jump to the garden of mate in the last stanza. Thanks for entering.
