You looked at me;
you saw right through me—
through my inhibitions, my fears,
my superficial morals.
You looked right through me
to see me as I am.
I looked at you;
I saw right through you—
through the darkness of your soul
and the callousness of your heart.
I reached out to you,
to love you as you are.
They say we are wrong.
They wear us down
with imposed morals and values
until we build a wall to shelter
our self-justifying defense…
and trap ourselves inside.
They say our love is wrong,
but I’d lie in Satan’s arms
to hold you in mine.

Another great one. Did you really do this in 1981? It shows a maturity in your words and a natural feel to your flow of verse. A strong emotional undertone to it made it feel good at the last stanza. I liked it.
Yes, I really did write it in 1981. Thanks for the praise; I’ve never been quite sure about the 1980’s poetry. LOL
