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.
