David Byrne Poet Free verse

When I Look At You

Intimacy is trust
Intimacy is comfort
When I look at you 
I see these things in me
I see you in me
I want you to see me in you
When I look at you
I feel your comfort
I feel your trust
Trust doesn’t need to ask
It embraces instead
When I look at you 
I embrace with pleasure
Your soul, your body, your love

I look to love

Tara Jennings January 21, 2019 at 8:10 PM How odd... I read this again and was astounded. I went to comment and realized I already had. These words make me weep, make me feel again what I used to have. David Byrne January 21, 2019 at 10:22 PM WOW, I'm glad I could make you feel something but sad that you feel the loss.
