I hear you
In all the different sounds
Calm as the rain falling on my windowsill
Yet violent as a hurricane
That's keeping me awake
I smell you
In all the different scents
Sweet as flowers growing on meadows
Yet fetid as a city's fumes
Polluting the air that I breathe
I taste you
In all the different flavours
Mellow as the ripest apple on the tree
Yet spoiled as milk that's gone off
Making me nauseous and sick
I see you
In all the different colours
Brighter than sunshine
Yet deeper than the darkest shade of black
Blended together into this perfect piece of art
Though I perceive you with all my senses
I can never feel you
As you are closer than the pillow I rest my head on
Yet more distant than a faraway galaxy
