Senses

Your eyes were blinded by the image of the person you could never be,

     that you never saw the person before you.

Your ears were filled with the voices of negativity,

     that you never heard my whispers of encouragement.

Your nose was filled with the acrid scent of the ashes of unrealized dreams,

     that you never knew the sweet smell of our successful future.

Your mouth was filled with the poisons of your past,

     that you never savored the taste of love.

Your touch was numbed by the pain of heart break,

     that you never felt my ache for you.

 

See me as a light in your eyes

Hear me as I sing your praises

Smell the perfume of a life yet lived

Taste my love on your lips

Touch my heart as it is yours!
