Here you will find the Poem Sensuality of poet Kenneth Slessor

Sensuality

FEELING hunger and cold, feeling 
Food, feeling fire, feeling 
Pity and pain, tasting 
Time in a kiss, tasting 
Anger and tears, touching 
Eyelids with lips, touching 
Plague, touching flesh, knowing 
Blood in the mouth, knowing 
Laughter like flame, holding 
Pickaxe and pen, holding 
Death in the hand, hearing 
Boilers and bells, hearing 
Birds, hearing hail, smelling 
Cedar and sweat, smelling 
Petrol and sea, feeling 
Hunger and cold, feeling 
Food, feeling fire. . . . 
Feeling.
