How you love me?
She asked
I love you from the bottom up,
from left to right,
from north to south
and from east to west,
I like you at the middle way,
in the center and in the sun,
I love you as an island,
I love you throughout,
in your nylon stockings,
I love you in Brazil,
How you love me
she asked,
I love you from top to bottom,
from north to south,
I love you as an imbecile
who lost its map,
I love you as an imbecile
who reads a complicated book

This is beautiful, Yann.  This is as it should be, but so very seldom is.

You made me smile with this very lovely romantic poem, dear Yann.

When we think of ourselves to be imbeciles with our attitude in love, the total blind devotion is already at risk, for otherwise we wouldn't think in that way. Of course we are not imbeciles, we just live in the clouds of bliss, where any judgment is impossible.

I love this very much and I am happy for you and your source of inspiration.

Ah, nice, my friend.  Not real sure imbecile is the word you wanted, but maybe I just don't know all it's uses, and haven't looked it up lately.  Enjoyed . . .

Yann
your poem is a perfect reflection of genuine love. Love flies in the face of logic as it fills the heart and consumes the mind. It makes imbeciles of us all. To be dumbstruck in love is the most joyous state of being. I am happy that you not only experience it, but have the awareness to put it into words. You are blessed.
