i taste the tanginess of your tears in my soul
tender teardrops that stir my soul
i hear the cautious cravings in your mind
crystallizing cravings that move my mind
i see the dainty desires in your hands
deserving desires to hold heartening hands
i smell the hermetic hopes in your heart
high hopes that hide happily in your heart
i touch the sentient smiles on your face
sweet smiles that show me my place
how else can i love you better and calm my wild
soul unless by sensing the unseen that sends your senses wild.

I always thought sixth sense is a natural culmination of all five senses. Evolution of all the senses is the sixth sense. This poem is deeply spiritual and sensual at the same time , so difficult to appreciate in words …can be felt, cant be said……
I love that line ” I smell the hermetic hopes”
Renunciation is not honest if it is because of pain or death….. true renunciation is another meaning to life and not an escape from life……it should not be a form of suicide ….or attenuated life.

thanks for reading and your insight. i agree, the sixth sense might be a natural culmination of all (popular) five senses. however, whereas the five senses rely on proofs, the sixth sense is mainly intuitive – sensing things that are not obvious using extra sensory perception, for instance, sensing the presence of ghosts. i take this opportunity to note the other six (unpopular) senses – acceleration/joint motion (kinaesthesia), balance (equilibrioception), differences in temperature (thermoception), direction (magnetoception), pain (nociception) and sense of time. maybe we should be talking about the twelfth sense here …

Ha Ha …. You sound like parietal cortex the area which integrates all senses. Including the sense of self.

Sense and sensibility are different entities. All of us are blessed with senses but our sensibilities are because we chose to develop them ….
Thank you for being you with all your sensibilities.
