Who may you be? You torture and I forgive Who may you be? You argue and I reconcile And all you own, you are a gazelle grazing The first among thousands of eyes Why love and obey, who may you be? Who may you be to govern my fate? And why divert, for your eyes, my way? I submit to your command, wondrous, and you my captive Leaving me between suspicion and illusion Why love and obey, who may you be? How you vanquish me, beloved, yet are fragile How great the pains I endure from your desertion and tyranny Oh you, who ignore me, though you know Dear to me, yet your heart squanders Why love and obey, who may you be? Your heart never knew the taste of love Nor loved, adored or burnt by passion My life and death for you the same? Leaving me between suspicion and illusion Why love and obey, who may you be? If only, indulge me with a promise unkempt If only, false tears your eyes shed You, to me dear, my state you know Oh charm, in charm, all charm Why love and obey, who may you be? Who feels my torture, my yearning and tears Knows the heat of the fire in my heart Yet, to you, I reveal no submission Against your eyelashes and eyes steadfast Why love and obey, who may you be? |

Nicely done....great job. I really enjoyed the poem and your use of repetition was great. Really did impact the poem.  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. |

Great work chas, this poem was nicely done. Give her two red roses, each with a note. The first note says "For the woman I love" and the second, "For my best friend." |

This is very good. Your use of repetition drives home the emotions behind your words. I especially love this line: "The first among thousands of eyes." "I don't judge people, I just watch them till it's time to look away. I wanna look away now." - Kristin Hersh |
