A romantic believes in six senses Taste, touch, hearing, sight, and smell So they know the smell of a rose And touch, a warmth in the cold Hearing, a voice soothing in any pitch Taste, a kiss Sight, a beauty that may just last the ages All of these can be between any two and perish at the end of one But the sixth is not physical It is not *** but passion Not human but soul Not relationship but transcending It is not borrowed or bought or born but found It is love existing and unexplainable There at once and always Beyond mere ashes and dust
