Beyond All Sense Poem by Lodigiana Poetess

I hear beyond the silence of the evening,
your voice is clear and melodious and
like a breath in the spring
or the drop of dew on a rose.
The sound fills my soul

I see through the veil of crushing disillusion
a face afresh with trust and faith
and courage to face an unknown future
with only love to cling to.
The sight fills my eyes

I smell the evening sea as the tide begins to turn.
Through open windows the scent engulfs me.
The essence of you lingers on my body,
musky fragrance unexpected, fleeting.
The smell of you like incense rising

I taste the bitterness of regret
not having found you sooner.
To have lived without the taste of you on my tongue
would be to have lived a vapid existence.
I savour the flavour of you.

I feel a smile that never wants to leave,
arms that want only to hold you.
A connection drawing us through all the senses,
to feel a proximity to you that is immeasurable.
I feel I have found my forever love
