The Empire Of The Senses Poem by Piotr Kasjas

The empire of my senses is a restless thing
and infinitely vast – like an ocean,
which tempts by the unknown horizon of the other hemisphere,
that leads me to action,
to rebound from the edge of my own thoughts.

Quite often I hear them - these thoughts,
when they crawl out of their grey cells,
ringing and smelling fresh.
Attracted by curiosity about the world,
they develop into mature words,
which I arrange by verses in a lyrical whisper,
completing an irresistible loneliness of long journeys.
