Please exist forever, Darling-
Ha,
I know you will.
…Do it near.
Look at me,
and see my soul.
Know me;
Smile your sad,
sad smile.
…There’s love inside your soul.
Come floating forward,
remembering names
my Maker gave me-
names that I’ve forgotten.
Keep in your consciousness
all you know-
what I don’t know myself.
(I know it somewhere
I know you somewhere
I recognize, I
recognize I)
Your two eyes that see me, Darling,
bring them towards my face.
Let me find within your pupils
me held in your gaze.

This was wonderful as always:
‘Your two eyes that see me, Darling,
bring them towards my face.
Let me find within your pupils
me held in your gaze’.
Wow

Thank you! 🙂 I’m particularly fond of this one. (Also, the compliment means a lot. I’m in a somewhat discouraged place writing-wise these days!)
