I've never seen more clearly,
than when the blinding sun is in my face.
Never tasted something so sweet
than when the pungent ocean seeps through my lips.
I've never felt something so warm
as the initial creep into the icy water.
I've never smelled something more alluring
than the stench of a fisher man's daily catch.
And I've never heard something so soothing
as the melody of the sea gulls screeches and moving waves.
Yet, I've never been so blinded
than I am by your devouring love.
I've never tasted something so bitter
than the thought of your unattainable kiss.
I've never felt something so overpowering
as your imaginary embrace.
I have never smelled something more agonizing
than the scent of your sweet perfume.
And never have I heard something so deafening
than your angelic voice,
singing eloquent words into someone else's ears.
