The Way You Look At Me
Folder:
Tributes to Lovers There is magic in
the way you look at me.
That half-smirk
and sideways glance
is what I live for.
It is a reminder of
the freedom I have
to be unreservedly myself.
You allow me to be who I am
with all my faults and quirks.

This is a lovely poem, but the final two lines brought a wry smile to my face: because, frankly, I doubt you have many faults and quirks; instead, I think you have, rather, a very poetic soul . . . and if the world interprets that as faults and quirks, so be it. Although I do not keep up with your poems as well as I should these days (I fault my declining health as a primary reason), I already know that you are one of this site's most excellent Poets.
