things i need

I don’t need the sun; no friends, no car I don’t need books, no name, no telephone, I don’t need Homer, neither croissants, nor cat, I don’t need medication Neither table nor sugar, I don’t need a watch, I don’t need a hat, No coffee I don’t need to think, to dance or write, I do not need to seduce, but I need to love you To need all this.

Absolutely sweet! That is how my Dad is. I look back at pics of mom and dad - my Dad smile is beaming in every one. He sure misses Mom. He is doing better after almost 4 years, but never the same. Love the lines: I don’t need Homer, neither croissants, nor cat, I don’t need medication Neither table nor sugar,

Hello Yann, Wow, this is raw, stripped down to the essence of love itself. I think that the way everything fades into insignificance except for that one need, it’s beautifully stark and deeply felt. A poem that lingers and truly moving. Winter Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

Dear Yann, notwithstanding all you say you don't need many things, if you love someone, you need them all. Great contrasts.

You feel that you need your dear one close to you to love her and love her above everything else. You are in the right spirit of Valentine, dear Yaan.
