Senses Out Of Order


My eyes weep for unseen smiles
My ears listen for unheard voices
My nostrils tingle with unperfumed scents
My tongue aches for unknown sweetness
My fingers grope for unfelt caresses

My bones break beneath the weight of my untouched skin
My heart drowns in the mad rushes of a bloodied river
My mind chases after runaway dreams
And fleeting memories of unexisting love.

I have been cheated of all my senses
And allusions of blissfulness
Leave me feeling dry and withered
Like a long-forgotten rose
Between the pages of an old diary

I have been ripped from my roots
Left alone to gather my own petals
One by one
A desperate attempt to bloom
Once again
In the light of my own sun

Nourish me
With your smile
Your voice
Your scent
Your kiss
Your touch

I will grow
When your love rains on my sadness

When life is but a sense away...
