Sense-ations

Your Voice “talks to me;

its tones, whether teasing, subtle or gentle

convey messages.

Your Eyes “see” me

and perceive my thoughts;

I am often sensitized

by the mode of your look.

Your Smile “exudes”

mirth, charm and a happy spirit.

How can one not be captivated?

In conversation, you Hear

and absorb every word,

which, like an artist's brush

defines the person's character.

Frequently, your Mind

“escorts” me to a place beyond my realm,

and with a key, activates further discovery.

Your Touch is sensuous,

which awakens concealed emotions

which have been lovingly unmasked.

I am the recipient

of your eternal care, concern and protection

...which openly you bestow.

I am deeply gratified that you indulge me

with such respect and adoration.
