Senseless

Gouge out these eyes
I haven't been able to close
since they last looked upon you
sleeping peacefully at my side.

Cut off these ears
ringing still with every tender word
that so gently moved
those little dark spaces between us.

Rip out this tongue
for I cannot rinse out
the mouthwatering memories
of our passionate midnight feasts.

Crush flat this nose
I haven't enough breath left in my chest
to exhale the narcotic aromas
of our shimmering labors of love

And chop off my hands
burn my skin to the bone
only then may I forget
the tearful euphoria of your softest caress

Leave me senseless, numb and indifferent
For this much I know to be true:
It does me no good to be feeling
if all I feel is you.
