Stay with Me!, by J. W. Cassandra. This poem belongs to my volume 17th, “This Is You!”, cycle “Gentle Spring Breathe”. I share it in English and Hungarian. The cycle is unfinished yet, I’ll work on it.
No words are enough to describe how powerful you are, black man. I cried writing this, because mine are inadequate. What can I do, to stop their fear of you from taking you from us? They see your power, innate and beautiful and they panic. Black man, you are everything. I love you.

You are the dawn, I am the sunset You are the reason for my amazement Your memories sail deep in my heart Your presence is felt ‘though we’re miles apart In the ocean of my…
Let’s build together “A Palace of Love” With garden of affection and sunshine above Ain’t any commotion when looked around Fondness spreading like a velvety glove
If only I had known you were going to come in my life, I would have welcomed my demons of the past …
Emily Dickinson, through this poem, tries to find an answer to the question, “Why do I love?”. And this “You” and “sir” could be a reference to God as well.
Throughout the poem, she keeps asserting that there is no reason for her love for him. It comes naturally to her and is a very part of her existence.
