As I watch his eyes smile
I slip my arms around his soul
My prized lily of the Nile
Is my only form of self control

So close that I can feel his heat
But far enough to have to reach
Now I know of each heartbeat
A talent only time can teach

For I have never seen so well
Even with my eyes so blurred
I know his presence by his smell
When love is more than just a word

For I have never seen so well
Even with my eyes so blurred
I know his presence by his smell
When love is more than just a word

That last verse is the perfect way to wrap up the thoughts you shared with us.  I enjoyed very much and "WELCOME TO PIP"

This is my first time here and this is the first poem I saw.
They say first impressions count and if the rest of the site lives up to this I will be pleased that I have become a member.

Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Dylan Thomas
