The Five Senses (a poem, thoughts)

The Five Senses

Written January 29th, 2012

If I lost my sense of sight, I could never see the faces of the ones I love,

I could never see the wonders of the world.

If I lost my sense of touch, I could never feel the kiss of my true love,

Or the touch of my child’s hand to my cheek.

If I lost my sense of taste, I could never enjoy my father’s cooking,

Or open my mouth when hiking to sample the pine and soil in the air.

Oblivion (a poem)

Oblivion

Written October 30th, 2011

The music fills the air around me

I can see the beat pulsing free

The particles vibrating

Dancing, quaking, shaking in time

Pupils dilate

Fingers tap, feet thump

The sound waves flood my ears

And smash through my drums

Fill my head and embrace my brain

The rhythm singes the synapses

And sets fire to my burning neurons

I shiver as electric currents

Sizzle down my spine

These Are the Days (a poem)

These Are the Days

These are the days
When everything you eat falls to ash
At your lips
And even after you swallowed
The taste you wish would go away most
Remains
And your stomach is in pain
From digesting the delicacy
That was your favorite yesterday
Or any other normal day
But not today
