Reading You
I try to watch your face to see
The flitting changes there.
A minute flinch allows a glimpse
Of thoughts and I'm aware,
That all the many parts of you
Though complex in their blend,
Create a special bond for us,
A love that has no end.
I read the tenderness I find
Inside your loving eyes,
And even when you passive stand
I note 'tis but disguise.
For all your multiplexities
Are simple and foretell
The heated metamorphosis
When I'm reading you in Braille.
its a little hot in here...great poem(s)
Or, how about THIS angle? ? : : :
(holding to your original 16-line form)
1 I watch you watch me.
2 Your glance is my caress:
3 "Breeze On The Leaf Stirs The Root."
4 Do you know your power?
5 You possess a strength
6 as "simple" as a nova!!
7 That two so far apart
8 should love so close-at-hand
9 is my sweetest mystery!
10 My chrysallis was o'er-spun
11 long before we two met
12 but I was ALWAYS yours!
13 The cucoon parts at your touch
14 and the tender being emerges,
15 longing for finger-prints
16 impressed into its sweat!!
"Poe" I'm not, nor "Rich" am I,
but I'll be famous, b'ye and b'ye !
How can it BE that I am the first/ only responder to this masterpiece??!!??!!
Watching You Watching Me
I feel your soft eyes
softly caressing me.
Though 500-miles away
yet not so very far
that I cannot still see
the fairest dawn's-glint
in your nature's-green eyes.
I taste sweetest tears
when I dream-deliver
all my softest kisses
to your gentle lashes.
Oh!, true, you've sensed
inside my loving eyes
love as true as any love
any one has ever dreamed.
We are not complex at all--
--no more-so than true love is.
Oh!, DO watch me, see me
responding to your touches!
tu jours
"Poe" I'm not, nor "Rich" am I,
but I'll be famous, b'ye and b'ye !
