WHEN I LOST...

When the day ends and night  begins
the world loses its light
when your vision left my eyes
I lost my  sense of sight

when war ends and peace sets  in
a country loses its fear
when u left - with your parting words
I lost  my power to hear

when summer ends and autumn  falls
the plants lose their color
when your fragrance left my nasals
I  lost my sense of odour

when the mountains end and  plains begin
a river loses its spate
when your lips kissed me goodbye
I  lost my sense of taste

when beauty goes and wrinkles  appear
a face loses its appeal
when your hand let go of mine
I lost my  ability to feel

when honesty is pledged to earn  profit
a business loses its ethics
when u erred and I saw u right
I  lost my sense numbered six

when darkness leaves and day  breaks
the world becomes bright
I lost my senses, but not your  memories
and I became a poet!
