I lay in bed staring at the ceiling, thinking of you. I get the feelings that others get from drugs, just by thinking of you. My a vue d'oeil. Love is just a word in English, French, or Mandarin, and any other language, but none can capture it. Yet the feeling is the same in all of them. Like a gravitational constant that draws an orbiting space rock to a moon, I am enamored with you. Romance novels have been written on me and you. Characters have cried on movie screens about me and you, and touched their lips with a gentility - and the tenderness- that can only come from the kind of love between me and you. The same love that resides between us as points of feeling in your heart and mine is the same love that existed inside other hearts hundreds of years ago as well as in between. This love has been alive with no interruptions, inherited by new lovers experienced the same way as the old lovers simply appearing in different places and more than one places at the same time so that more than one pair of lovers can experience it at the same time. Love knows no boundaries love knows no time, love is eternal love is ethereal love is harmonious two hearts beating together in and out of time. Thump thump, thump thump, thump thump, thump thump. |

Listening to letters to Elise by the cure.
The heart beating in and out of time is actually from the song "Behold the Hurricane" by the Horrible Crowes.
I had written another poem with A VUE D'OEIL in it some years ago.
I had forgotten what was in it other than something like "face floats before me".
Having looked it up again (titled "Your face floats before me, my a vue eil."), there is more similarity than I expected.
