Ficlets

denial of the heart

nothing looks right
and nothing looks wrong
what sight overlooks
the other senses realize
and what the ear misjudges
the other senses correct
what the tongue cannot taste
the other senses taste for it
and what the fingers do not feel
the other senses compensate for
what the nose grimaces at
the other senses may welcome
but when the heart thumps with passion
it cannot be denied
