Essences...

if you were a colour
you'd be all the tints of the rainbow
red, blue, orange and yellow.

you'd be like colours
i've never seen or even thought of
simply stated, you'd be the colour of love.

i'd see yours flaws and
still think you're flaw-less
for those scars made you who you are, worthy of an exhibit, no less.

if you were a smell
your perfume would be of sweet caramel tones
of honey combs, sugar coats and cinnamons.

your scent would feed
a burning desire and send chills to the bone
you'd be like the warm scent of home.

a aura that would warm
cold hearts and melt non-believers' ice
bring a quieting heart back to life.

a sound,
what sound would you be?
you'd be the warm voice of my grandfather
with me bouncing on his knee.

as smooth as the piano
as gripping as the guitar
your sound would write scores and provide lyrics to a choir.

an echo that travels
to the depths of the ocean and up to unreachable peaks
lift me high enough to kiss God upon his cheek...if you were a sound.

a taste of syrupy sugarcane
of honey mauby and champagne
your flavour would bewitch my spirit and i'd bask in the taste of it.

leaving me tongue-tied
every swallow a closer taste of heaven's clouds
a taste that would even make my forefathers proud.

and if i could touch you
two beings connected completely
i could mold your imagery in my finger tips so it
would be imprinted in my memory.

i would touch every crevice
seek every hidden treasure
run my hands over the courses of your aura
hoping to touch your heart measure.

never letting go
a crash that from me passion evokes
feeling the magnetism in every stroke
hitting all the right notes
of my inner and outer yoke.

you are appealing to my senses
possesseing all the right essences
leaving me breathless, tearing down these fences....and walls too

i better stay a way from you....
