Amorous Senses
I see her even when she is not here
Hear her voice as if it whispers in my ear
Her scent, of such fragrant perfume
My sense does it wholly consume
Ever tactile does it seem
As I feel her even in a dream
Now all that’s left is but one kiss
And then I have nothing short of bliss.

There are those days I wish I had never met her. That the long paths we began to tread shortly after being pulled out of our respective mothers’ wombs had never crossed and converged. Her grace, femininity, beauty, charm and magic are of the kind I had never experienced. Yet, as much as I loved her and still do, she can not be mine. She said so herself and the effect was a shattering one. It...
