Sensory perceptions

                    Do not breathe a word
        listen to the silence
    to what can be heard
within unspoken promises

Do not see through sight
        see through your senses
                to reach beyond the night
                        evoked by false pretences

                        Do not feel through touch
                    feel through the skin’s pores
absorb the energy flux
washing upon souls shores

Do not love through desire
    love from the core inside
                let heart and soul conspire
                    to be your intuitive guide

                    The sensory perceptions
                will feed the mind with doubt
suffocation of emotions
        destruction by mind’s illusive shroud
