I Cannot See, But I Know You Love Me
Haiku poems about each of our five senses
**Author's note: I published a poem last month on Vocal about embracing our senses:
Open Your Senses to This Place We Call Home - A septet free verse poem that embraces our five senses.
This is a set of five haiku poems that try to encapsulate how a blind person compensates with other senses for their lack of sight but can still recognize the warmth of love.

Visions in my mind
Through closed eyes, my sights unfold.
Sights I cannot find.
---
Your hand touches mine,
Reassuring me you're there,
Leave your hand in mine.
---
Your sweet voice I hear,
Though your shape I cannot see.
Speak softly to me.
---
Smell - sense so divine,
Roses, perfume, and red wine,
Whenever I'm with you.
---
Touch your lips to mine,
Let me taste your love, divine,
Blind, but you are mine.

Till next time, thank you for reading my poems,

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.
