Words Trying to be Senses



Words try to wrap
themselves around 
the senses 
pushing feelings
forward
signalling something
in the brain
mentally 
rather than
physically.


For from the written word alone
you can't smell a rose
touch silk
be shouted at
taste chocolate
you see the words themselves 
not the view


So forgive my attempts
at striking a match
to your brain
but I am trying
and maybe
something will spark.
