| stare and desire; a villanelle 2.5.98 |
| you look at me, and so I look at you across the room I see your eyes ablaze, you turn to cross the room, and I move too. I see the question in your eyes, I do, I move to you as if I'm in a daze, you look at me, and so I look at you. the windows to your soul tell me it's true, it's almost through you that I seem to gaze, you turn to cross the room, and I move too. this way I feel, it makes me all brand new, to you I push my way against the haze, you look at me, and so I look at you. you're there and yet I do not get to you, I feel myself begin to reach a craze, you turn to cross the room, and I move too. and if you love me please give me some clue, I feel myself entrapped within a maze you turn to look at me, and so I look at you, you turn to cross the room, and I move too. |
