See Me Not With Your Eyes... Poem by Melissa Casteen

Look at me and see me not with your eyes
but with your heart
and feel that my love for you is both
as brilliant and demanding
as the sun gives heat and light
and as quiet and serene
as the moon caresses the stars

Look at me and see me not with your eyes
but with your mind
and know that my thoughts of you
are sprinkled spontaneously and wistfully throughout my day
and in my dreams, are given to wishing for the morn-
for being with you is lovlier than any dream

Look at me and see me not with your eyes
but with your soul
and be a part of me, as if together,
our breath has created the wind,
our tears and sweat- the seas,
our heat and passion- the sun,
the light in our eyes- the moon and stars
and our love- the World.
