tactile .osi


~ ' her gaze in braille ' ..





i keep groping for words

a tangy nothingness
this palpable ether
it leaves language behind
but works out the meanings

a ripple of rainbows
reverberates with scent
it is only her gaze
that has touched my insides

with no baggage of words ..

  7. yes. so true. I especially like the lines:
    "it leaves language behind/but works out the meanings"
    We can indeed establish meaning without words.

  8. Sometimes a gaze can speak things that mere words can not express... enjoyable read.
