Senses reborn!

Regrettably, my sensing things, served well as dust collectors;     Then she arrived and made alive, those sensory receptors: With tunneled view of lifeless hue, my world was black and white.     Dull and duller became color, when she restored my sight. Moral teachings; punished breachings; cloaked all I chanced to hear.     Now limits gone, I hearken long, no sound or word to fear. I muddled scents without pretense; adept I'd never be;     Effuvia was trivia...until her balm touched me. The calloused hands that braved demands, a'muting their embrace;     Now find the key to jubilee - when offered neck or face. I thought my buds were tasteless duds as foods were bland - or worse.     Her mouth a stein of priceless wine; her breasts, a flavor burst. Then comes a sense from who knows whence, that few will find - or win.     Her eyes extol - path to her soul...through which I'm ushered in: Those trips though few, cast me anew with purpose and delight:     Thank her for 'five' that she revived...And God for 'inner-sight'.

Additional Notes:
Although it took me half a lifetime to realize: You only need 'one' with the power, and will, to ignite your smoldering ashes - and regenerate "Love"!
