POETRY | THE FIVE SENSES |
Senses of Seasons Reborn to Reason
A sensory slate in a poetic life
Sins seeped away from the bones beneath Grains of oblivion shake from the roots above Crawling from her belly to smell of burnt leaves Tasting rusted apples from the memory of teeth
The tickle of morning grass across the pores of new skin Dew drops are sugar kisses on searching lips Tunneling worms echo in awoken ears The pick-pack plunge of a beak seek within
A blaze of life burns shadows across a lost plane From the spawn of blackness; birth to a new light The wails of failing ring in the ears to conceive. Delivered by His grace welcoming a new plight
Tears from her eyes with the vision of love Swaddled from the winds of war for glory and hope Pressed pears, pudding of plums, milk of the breast Language babbled, birthed then worn like a glove
Something old returns a new beginning to take shape Growing with soul, spirit, and grand mythology To be a bride, a warrior, a sister, a queen, or king A world to touch, taste, feel, hear, inhale, and drink at her nape
Fading power, dimming the hues, song fills the air Sailing the Seas wriggling across the sands of time Won or lost ascending the rungs of the ladder Until we are doused in the glow of our heir
To be new, everlasting, and come again With eyes to read, mouths to swallow, Ears filled with sounds of thunder, the patter of rain The scents of a kingdom awaiting every touch.
Are you feeling charitable? If so, there is a tipping option below, or if you want to look at my Amazon wish list, click here. Please note that I am not having a mid-life crisis; the vinyl records and 80s posters on the wish list are contributions from my teenage daughter.
