Your Face Is Map Enough For Me

Your face is map enough for me Your gaze,your smile,your frown,your glee. And if I want to know the rest The shape your posture’s made is best For showing what your life is now. A look,a gesture,all this show. Till all you are is then disclosed And I am in your arms enrobed. Love vanishes when analysed, And thinking too’ by Love’s despised Use the means to fit the end And then I’ll be what you intend.

I wish I had read this sooner. There is a slight sense of a very gentle sensuality within these emotional lines. "Love vanishes when analyzed"...that particular line struck me intensely. Fantastic job. I've certainly become a fan of your work now.
