Synesthesia

A schism of sensation

Fractures from within

Far beyond standard deviation

Making colors akin

To a myriad of scents.

Red, it smells of almond incense

Orange is chemical, synthetic

Yellow evokes Autumn’s breathe

Green of cedar, aromatic

In its release.

Blue, it smells of silken sheets

Violet strong like cloves

Black’s akin to decaying meats

White like lilac groves

swaying in the wind.

No way to rescind

the sensational culmination

that sweeps in like a whirlwind

and defies rationalization

of a synesthetic's mind.
