My Senses Poem by Deluke Muwanigwa

All my senses

I look like i look at you
But my eye is focused away
Though i look at you now
There's someone else on my mind
She is the one i want to see

I look like i hear you talk
My ear hears another voice
Though i appear to listen
All i hear is you squeak
I long to hear someone else

I look like i enjoy kissing you
My mouth longs for other lips
to taste someone else
I kiss you with open eyes
close them for someone else

I look like i enjoy touching you
My hands long for a certain skin
Though my hand strays on you
There's a body i enjoy fondling
Someone i do not tire holding

I look like i like your perfume
My nose misses another musk
Though i sniff you all over
There is someone else i like
Someone whose smell i miss

I have used all my senses
In all tongues its the same sentence
Its goodbye love
Au revoir ma cherie
