You touch my face
and I agonize
with a need,


Which only
you
can satisfy.


Your eyes ----
nuture my somber
converting into your mood,


to tease,
and excite
emotions.


Stay -----do not move away
even slightly.


master and
possess my body and soul,


I belong to you!

The shadows of night
strain against a stark truth
in seeing beyond
another night fall.


A lonly beggar
with light at hand,
beckons
whenever he can,


A glitter
here and there,
Only to be smashed
by repungant air.


A weaving shadow
with only a
scintilla of light,


Traces the
outlines
beyond sight.

Beyond the depths
of your contagious laugh
sooner than the grey
from  your eyes,


-------------is------------


an essence I longed to penetrate
but could not,
by being coy, tempermental or shy.


You equal a plus minus me a zero,
an insignifiant
enternal line
encasing empty space.


Change not
proud man of distinction
preyer of  devotion ----------


Mortals envy,
Souls cry.

All the cares of the day
seem insignificant
when I am with you.


Time depicts a new meaning
of essence
in the shape of
fulfillment.


I love you.


Ah,  how foolhardy
I am,
To admittedly care


Or, believe
that it has never
been said to you before.

Reluctantly,
I must admit.


I  have at last
found one who is a match.


It would be wrong
to pursue such
adventure


for someone as he
would never give me attention.


He would linger
----- awhile --------
Until unrest and dissatisfaction set in


he is a good man
a good man for me


However, no man can stay
they all must flee.


Love me not
See me often


What silly words to say
from an orphan!

To like someone
and
know them not.

Is comparable
to sliding on ice.

A deep penetration
might be cold

But then
is not it warm

Before being
frozen into a mold?

After our association
has passed through
the days and years,


You will ask,
why do you love me?
and I to  you.


So many ways  darling
many of which am
not even aware.


Perhaps could attempt
by telling you what I do not like
about a man.


A man who shows his love with many
only, to discover
he has nothing to give.


A man who respects
no one - -
not even himself.


A man who has tripped
many times along the road of life,
and cannot pick himself up.


These emotions invariably
jell into a mass ----
emitting a passive existance.


I love you
because
you are none of those.
