sensorium

intimacy mapped through the senses

poetry recitation

sensorium

your eyes, they see
stained glass
a mosaic piece
could we live amongst the colours
of quivering magdalene?

your ears, taste sweet
pressed against the boutique
of my cheek
a whimper, the dove
the shampoo that you love

your mouth, licks me
like a cherry motif
soaked cotton
ripe flesh
against the edges of teeth

your nose, it beats
top notes of delicacy
neck of
musk candy
and sandalwood sheets

your skin, it feels
like a lifetime to me
all of your stories
and mine meet
all your wanted memories

you are goosebumps
over biceps
the dimple of a neck
bones formed from heartache
the very first shy peck
