I really do admire you, you know that?

Your last poem and this one are absolutely amazing for the free-form that I myself usually avoid. I just don't like it. Usually. But I love this. There's a subtle rhythm to your writing -- it forms to the poem (instead of vice versa, which is how I was taught to write and what I usually fall back into), like water forms to its container.

I love the thought of every part of someone, something, being made up of different components. Tennyson is my eyes! Poe is my heart! I am an echo of these things, tossed and jumbled so that I end up as something totally different! A romantic ideal, a simple one, but so intricately beautiful and stated so concisely.

Keep writing, and know that I will read it all. Thank you for this.

I really enjoyed this poem. It's heartbreaking. I love the way you describe an entire person in so few words from literature. This is a real accomplishment.

That said, is "only that and nothing more" a quote from Pushkin? It sounds like another bit from Poe: 'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, 'tapping at my chamber door - / Only this, and nothing more' ("The Raven"). I'm not familiar with anything by Pushkin, but is there another line you could use? Or is this deliberately a quote from Poe? Or this a famous line from Pushkin and I'm just clueless?

Wow, that really just jumped out at me, good job!

I thought it was going to be just like all the other free form imitators that copy each other.  It would have been better with more meter restrictions, but I still liked it.
