Reflections. Poem by Colleen Wright

I sense the gum leaves from fresh country air
I sense your nearness when you're not there.
I sense the favourite foods you like to eat,
I sense the paddocks of harvested wheat.

This is how you sense me.
I am a reflection of you - you see.

I see you happy - I see you smile
I see you rush - then pause a while.
I see you glad and I see you sad,
I see you elated and I see you mad.

This is how you see me
I am a reflection of you - you see.

I smell your arrival as you enter a room
I smell the fragrance of your male perfume.
I smell your fresh body as you come close to mine,
I smille our togetherness as the purity of a fine wine.

This is how you smell me
I am a reflection of you - you see.

I hear your voice call to me in despair
I hear the fear and loneliness in the air.
I hear the cold winds whistling through the trees
I hear the murmur of a longing lover's tease.

This is how you hear me -
I am a reflection of you - you see.

I taste the saltiness of love from your teasing nips
I taste the lingering kiss from your hungry lips
I taste your needs from your masculine skin
I taste the burning love radiating from within.

This is how you to taste to me
I am a reflection of you - you see.
