My Senses

My senses are tendrils and mimosas,

Intent, observant and ready to recoil;

Can’t bear heavy treads or rough hands

And hang and sway daylong in the air.

They curl and quiver in musical rings,

Tense, tensile and fragile to the touch;

My senses are sentient creepers

That warm and wake up at all hours

As trees approach or winds shake

And love filters through their pores.

They are brides new

Bashfully bent into a tautened bow

When nature is downy with whispers

Or squally with high winds and fiery lusts,

Wearing down all to a dark nakedness.
