I Believe In You

I believe in a thing called sense
What is life without a touch?
I believe in a thing called sound
What is song without a noise?
I believe in a thing called sight
What is beauty without an image?
I believe in a thing called scent
What is a flower without a fragrance?
I believe in a thing called taste
What is poison without a flavour?

Life without touch is
Look but don’t touch
Anger without noise is
Children must be seen, not heard
Beauty without image is
Beauty is skin deep
Flower without scent is
A rose by any other name would smell as sweet
Poison without flavour is
A quick death from a long life

But

I believe in a thing called love
What is love without you?

I believe in a thing called me
What am I without you?

Love without you is
Lust
Me without you is
An empty shell

I believe not a thing

Because I believe in you

And with you

I don’t need to believe
I don’t need sense,
I don’t need sound,
I don’t need sight,
I don’t need scent,
I don’t need taste

All I need is
Your hand on mine, your leg against me
Your voice clear, your laughter loud
Your eyes bright, your face strong
Your body sweet
And mouth sweeter yet

And I believe it.
