I love you
Idea …
For planting the seeds of battle
In my heart.
…nevertheless, I know that I could love you,
without having seen you,
without having met you,
because I would have sensed you
and I would have known
that something was germinating in my heart
which I had not met.

Nice poem. What is the Idea supposed to be?
When I read it I felt inclined to get up to my book shelf and spend 10 minutes finding a certain poem in a certain book. There is no real relation between this and yours except that in my stream of consciousness I associated them.
Kate Clanchy- Tip
Get a hat, a Homburg, keep
it on in bars, ripped
so just your profile shows.
Imply a smile, one-sided. Perhaps
a scar to hold it.
Seek out the half-light, stand
oblique, a silhouette. Smoke
a blue edged trail
in icy air, by a lamppost, let
your few sharp words intensify
to clouds. Be lean.
Be leaning on the bar I plan
to enter. Irony's the ice I keep
my dreams in. Drop
some in your whisky. Hold it there.
