I should like to love in utter abandonment,
having neither my sanity nor my sincerity questioned,
and it would not mean diabolical entrapment,
a millstone around my lover’s neck, obsession personified.
While I admit not having eyes for anyone other than you,
and having never before engaged in such a passionate endeavor,
I do not anticipate ever feeling this way again with anyone new.
Before we met, I had never known such loveliness or desired to savor
each moment I spent with another person.
Still, do plan to come and go as you please,
for while I hope for reciprocation of affection,
I know such intoxication
is often times a one sided affair!
Oh, what an intellectually and emotionally honest stunner! (But it ain't always one-sided and wishing you luck... :)) t x
You have just defined used & abused in such an extraordinarilly eloquent manner .....it can't be touched...other than to say...Never be anybody's doormat, no matter how beautifully you can defend it in words! lol! ...Awesome work, Bill...as always. FjR
