How with an air of quiet grace
she’s come into my life
so like the way
the moon slides silently behind a cloud.
And only yesterday
I thought myself too old
to be an object of desire,
too winter-waned without,
within, ice greyed
and blurred
to have once more
the heart inside me
stirred.

Dear Baldwin,
It's really very beautiful. I like the image in which she came into your life like the the moon sliding behind a cloud. I love the description of your outside appearance and your inside feelings. Great my dear friend.

What kind of person are you? I don't want anything from you except your friendship. What can you give me except your friendship? Do you refuse my friendship? I don't want anything from you.

Have you not stated over and over again -- and not just to me but to others here -- that I know nothing about poetry and that I have no idea how to write it, let alone write it well?

I don't want to teach poetry to anyone, but l don't want anyone to teach me poetry. What l want is one important thing, your friendship.
Leaving aside the questions of whether you are capable of teaching poetry (especially all that one is required to do in order to write it well) to anyone or have sufficient knowledge of the subject to do so, your response above is a dodge of my yes or no question. Why would I want to be friends with someone who does this sort of thing repeatedly?
