Sensory Desperation
Taste like a smell,
Sight like a sound,
Feeling touch
So viscerally.
Sand in the sky,
Fire in my eye,
Tractor beam
Illusionary.
Pull from within,
Honestly sin,
Careless dream-
Harsh reality.
A whisper so loud,
Out in a crowd,
Read the rest of the poem Show less
Singular
Ceremony.
Come baby,
Come and find me.
My darkest hour
So blinding.
Reach out
Through trouble
Daunting,
Sensation desperation,
Hold me, as if
We may never ever
Meet again.
