This poem is from my "Love Bites" comes, 16 years ago. I guess I was talking about flirting really comes from a lack of self-esteem. I think the "Ode" thing in the title was just an attempt to pay homage to past poets.
Ode To The Fairest
Please do not expose
me to you uncertainties.
My sanity requires a
degree of stability.
Being unsure of your
own love, does not
give you the right to
coax it from me.
Your beauty is without
question, you do not need
to validate it with my attention.
I will not be your confirmation.
Vanity is insulting no matter
what mirror one looks in.
At best all we can see
are empty reflections.
