True Respect (A Distant Adoration) (Free verse) by abecedarian
I can smell the purfume of a hundred people but here is one that I see completely surrounded by a buzzing mass of fickle need I watch as bits of you escape in brilliant warm spears of light uncomfortably detained radiating grace and desperation amidst a suffocation You glance over to where I sit and flash a knowing smile, finally understanding my compliment - that it is possible to adore someone so much that you avoid their presence altogether.
