THE SIXTH SENSE

THE SIXTH SENSE


Promise of eternal love
In a golden whisper
Left me spellbound and speechless,
My heart was aflutter.

You touched me, your silken touch
Worked up a fire in me.
I could not control myself
And clung to you deeply.

You took me into your arms,
To take breath I struggled
Love abounded all around.
All sensation was dulled.

Then it happened, you kissed me.
I looked up in the eye.
Despite whisper, touch, embrace,
I saw in eyes the lie.

There was something in those eyes
That did make me recoil.
Movements of tongue continued.
My heart was in turmoil.

No the eyes just cannot lie,
Though the words can be fake.
It is the sixth sense that keeps
The women wide awake.
