My Connoisseur


he appreciates me in him

he values me highly enough to recognize and like the qualities of himself in me

and me in himself


he understands something about himself in me

that I cannot understand in me

and he cannot understand in himself

but in each other we understand fully


he understands fully the meaning and significance of my every situation

and I too understand of him...he feels gratitude

he is grateful for me as I am grateful for him

he acknowledges something in me and in himself

he accepts that it is valid

that he is in me what i am in him

he gains in value

as I gain in value when we gain from each other

he increases in value, especially over time

as he matures and i mature

so we mature within each other

to become finer, richer, bolder makes of each other witin each other


he is the expert

an expert in an area of the fine art of being with me

without touching seeing hearing smelling or tasting

he does all this by simply believing in me

he is with discriminating taste in such a specialty

the French call it connoistre, to "know" someone so well, so deeply, so richly

and in Latin cognoscere, the "ability to acquire knowledge":

the mental faculty or process of acquiring knowledge by the use of reasoning, intuition, or perception


he reasons me

he intuites me

he percevies me

he is my very own reflection

my mirror in the wall

my connoisseur
