Synesthesia

I hear your name everywhere

Your whispers in the buzzing of the bees

Your exasperated sighs in the beeping of the cars

Your ecstatic storytelling in the humdrum of random noises

 

I see you in every hue

Your calm demeanor in shades of blue

Your road rage in shades of red

Your cheeky laugh in shades of yellow

 

I taste you in every way

Your kiss in this smooth black chocolate

The warmth of your hand in this bowl of soup

Your icy stare in gulping this cold water

 

I smell you in every scent

Your warm hug in this cup of coffee

Your compassion in this bouquet of Stargazers

Your glistening eyes in this cigarette

 

Doctors, please help me

I have the rarest case of synesthesia

 

When it comes to you,

My brain malfunctions

My senses, once numb, feel everything

All at once

In the most passionate and

In the most heightened sense

 

To feel you in everything.

To experience you in every way.

 

My eyes only see you

My nose only smells you

My tongue only craves you

My ears only hear you

 

My brain only perceives you

 

My synesthesia

Is only in the form of you.

I heard Pablo Neruda has synesthesia.

So i wondered,

What is it like to feel everything in all kinds of way?
