Quatrain of Selfish Senses - 1077

Quatrain of Selfish Senses

Senses - any of the faculties

1.
My senses, do I have
five or are there more?

I have an inkling there is
another to underscore.

The magic of knowing
your thoughts exposed,

The revelation I had
when your mind was closed.

2.
What was it you felt so
soon after we first met,

When your heart misfired
and your lips turned wet,

I read your mind as though
I was a Holy Master,

And together we have
loved each other thereafter,

3.
It wasn't smell, nor touch,
taste nor sight,

It wasn't what I heard or the words that tumbled outright.

It was not what was said or discussed verbally distinct,

It was my six sense that
captured ever fiber we have linked.
