The Senses

Love tastes like warm miso soup
After going hungry all day

Love feels like the vibrations in your chest
When a base drum booms too close

Love sounds like flute vibrato
Inside a church sanctuary

Love looks like a pale yellow drop of food coloring
On wet watercolor paper

Love smells like when you come up from underwater
In a small, shallow lake with grassy banks
