abide

[amuse]

i don't want you
to look at me,
i don't want you to
be near me;
i don't want you to
think of me

unless you can
do it
with love in your eyes.



*just watched A Walk to Remember; the unselfish love in the last part of the story had me in tears until the end. and when the the boy and girl quoted 1st corinthians verse 13 it just caught at me. as if i were a fishy in a lake. i was powerless.

Instantly, your poem reminded me of a selection from a poem by Ben Jonson: "drink to me only with thine eyes." Very impressive, as usual, amuse; I always consider it a great pleasure to read your work, as it often seems so raw with emotion - very inspiring, as a fellow poet. Well done, to say the least.
