there are too many of you in one body <br />in one truth <br />too many faces <br />jibing with different names in different places <br />at first you may deceive <br />and even create surprises <br />but there is a time for discoveries <br />islands have been given <br />their names <br />marked with specific numbers like some specimens <br />of stuffed cats and dogs <br />and preserved amphibians <br />in the bottles <br /> <br />and here you are again <br />enticing me with a <br /> <br />wow <br /> <br />on another assumed name <br />i know it is you <br />and for what reason you wear so many faces <br />and have taken so many hands and feet <br />and so many pairs of eyes <br /> <br />i cannot guess anymore <br />but this i can say <br />from the deepest chambers of my heart <br />i care <br />i also know how to love <br />and it does not matter even <br />if you are one of the thousand illusions in my life <br />despite <br /> <br />there is only one you in my life <br />and i know <br />you also care <br />you also love <br />and that is all enough <br /> <br />my dear<br /><br />RIC S.
