| Allegory of the Five Senses by Pietro Paolini |
Let me see your face, softly tracing each & every line
Let me hear your songs, words & melody intertwined
Let me touch your heart, beating to the rhythm of mine
Let me taste your lips, ripe wine passion unrefined
Let me smell your soft scent for you my flesh pines
Let me sense your spirit, enlightenment/state of mind

sensing someone's spirit goes def. beyond the lips, song, scent...it's about seeing...and knowing...
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree the sensing brings everything together..
DeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you Laurie..
DeleteBeing able to see within
ReplyDeleteSure goes to a whole new plain at ones bin
But all the touching and sensing too
I can do with that at my zoo
Seeing is knowing
Deleteknowing is growing
nice...the opening of each verse with let me...the asking permission to let the senses wash over you....its all of them...it is none of them.....
ReplyDeleteBrian, I think you get it as, it is all of them..yet none of them...
DeleteSo sensual and loving-- the final sense most of all, for I so find it the most important, n'est pas? ~peace, Jason
ReplyDeleteThank you Jason for your lovely words..
DeleteOf course - the spirit is indeed real!
ReplyDeleteVery nice. And sensual.
Yes, Alex the spirit is alive and thriving..thanks for visiting..Oh bought your 1st book so I am reading it now.
DeleteI agree about the sixth sense, Truedessa. It is indeed a REAL sense and integral to understanding so many things in a deep way.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary, that sense has always been "real" for me..
DeleteI loved your poem, Trudessa. So brief, but so rich! I think we have a number of senses beyond 5, and spirit is absolutely an important one. I am unfamiliar with Pietro Paolini as an artist, but he is a visual delight! Take care!
ReplyDeleteI agree there is so much to discover through all our senses. Thanks
Deletefor visiting today.
A poem with a strong sense of beseeching that is quite poignant--the repetition works so well for that. Thanks. k.
ReplyDeleteThanks Karin for the fun prompt..
DeleteWonderful to engage in all senses.,
ReplyDeleteWonderful indeed..thanks Bjorn..
DeleteSensing the other's spirit is a very great gift. Beautiful, Truedessa.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sherry, seeing with another eye..
DeleteSometimes we take these senses for granted and they are the essence of our existence.
ReplyDeleteThat is so true we depend on them everyday..
DeletePerfectly expressive in exploring all the senses with brevity. The 6th sense is def could be a great gift & i am afraid i don't have it but i have extended ears to hear those beyond the boundaries. Smiles.
ReplyDeleteKelvin my friend..to hear beyond boundaries is a gift..smiles back..
Delete"Passion unrefined . . ." I like that. Sometimes I wonder if perhaps I could buy it in a bottle. I sure could do with a bit of passion. I've been a blue zombie for a long time or so it feels. So tell me, is there such a bottle? Thanks for the email. I thought I'd drop in a line instead. I can see the Blogger Board is still there. You may have to change the link, though, if you're still interested. In the meantime, I hope you're doing fine. Now, where's that ripe wine?
ReplyDeleteWelcome back Blue..glad to see you are feeling better..Well, if one could bottle passion I imagine they would be very wealthy..perhaps, passion is internally bottled and just needs to
Deletebe uncorked.
I left the blogger board even when you closed shop...I don't think I'll ever get to Bora Bora but, it is fun to entertain the thought.
You left the Blogger Board even when I closed shop... That means a lot to me, Truedessa, and it tells me all I need to know about you. :) It's just...it was getting more and more difficult for me to keep my eyes open without totally freaking out. I said to myself, 'What's the use? I can't read a single thing.' So I pulled the plug. Even the docs were getting pretty desperate. But now, after a lot of research and experimenting, I can see quite well again. I'm not complaining.
DeletePassion in a bottle... That would be something. What would you call it? Of course you will get to Bora Bora. Just put your mind to it and you can do anything you want.
I am just glad you are feeling better that is the important thing so glad you can see again as there is so much beauty in life to behold.
DeleteP.S.: As in HERE.
ReplyDeleteI agree. The sixth sense is a gift. I try to listen to mine as much as possible. Wonderful poem.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting Elsie..
