Katherine Braithwaite Poet Free verse

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.

Poet Tacito October 31, 2013 at 8:35 AM 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.
