The Five Senses

by Jesse Shanks

The grace of your presence
Is a blessing I crave.
The warm, gentle breeze of you
Ruffles my hair.
The peace of your smile
My soul to save
The soft, tender smell of you
The scent everywhere.

These are just thoughts that
Cross my mind
When all my doubts seem
Far behind.

The taste of your kiss
Is a gift I adore.
It is what
The five senses are for.
I want to hear you, too.
Be washed by the sound of you
Touching my senses
To make my life new.
