I Don't Like The Way You Are



Quote of the day:

The deepest definition of youth is life as yet untouched by tragedy.
-Alfred North Whitehead




I do not like the way you stare at me.
With those wild eyes.

I do not like the way you look.
With those dark clothes.

I do not like the way you love.
Empty feeling and emotions.

I do not like the way you are.
A stranger hiding in the dark.

What would i like?
I would like to....

Think with your thoughts.
Watch with your eyes.
Love with your heart.
Escape with your body.

    empty emotions se
    i totally understand
    wholeness comes from time spent with God...
    The more time spent
    the more wholeness an individual receives

  10. Deep. The persona does not like "the way you stare at me with those wild eyes"; "the way you look with those dark clothes"; they way you are. A stranger hiding in the dark". And yet the persona would like to "think with your thoughts"; "watch with your eyes"; "love with your heart" etc etc. It is all so paradoxical. It's almost as if the only reason the persona does not like 'these' is because he/she cannot personalise them yet.

  16. I like the poem.....when you're drawn to something you dont understand and don't necessarily like, you should try to find out whats underneath it.... Anyway your poem got me wanting to reply...like Walter Raleigh's reply to Christopher Marlowe's "Passionate Shepherd...." you may know it, since you like poetry... anyway... here you go.

    I hate the way you turn away
    When I try to meet your eyes

    I do not like that look you get
    When your gaze falls on my clothes

    I do not like the way you think
    My love is not profound

    I do not like that to you I’m still
    A stranger in the dark

    More than anything
    I just want you

    To Look into my mind
    See the world through my eyes
    Feel the love that fills my heart
    And possess my body like it is yours.
