The sight of love to touch, taste, smell, hear love

poem for a we had to write about one or all of the 5 human senses

The sight of love to touch, taste, smell, hear love

Let me taste the
kiss of your lips,

To touch the warmth
of your body holding me closely.

To touch your love to
hear the sweet caress
of your voice.

Lamentation of tears
would fall as raindrops
if I lost my sight and couldn't
see your heart.

The smell of your after shave
against my skin,

To touch love to taste
your kiss and smell your
scent,

To Always see your
baby blues never want
to be blinded they're a beautiful
sight to see.

Always hearing your
mellow voice never want
to be deaf to sweet sounds
of your mellow vibes.
