The Writings of My Heart
With thoughts upon my mind, I try to utter words a'new,
Attempts to speak unwritten notions, yet I gather few.
Articulation falters swiftly, stalled amongst the tide,
A cataclysmic undertaking once again denied.
How could it be, you render speechless all I wish declared,
Expression flows in adoration, yet I'm unprepared.
Disclosed within the depths I seek the writings of my heart,
I wish to raise the words to surface where they can depart.
'Neath hidden terms of adulation, thoughts I'm dreaming of,
Churn quietly below the shallows, rapt in warmth of love,
And yet, expression lingers softly - halts ascending climb,
Withheld from verbalized display to hover over time.
No exclamation can declare emotions of my soul,
For swiftly, words escape my meaning, lost, beyond control;
And so until expression rises from these lips exhaled,
I urge you, look into these eyes where all will be unveiled.
Through portals of my soul you'll find in rich, unfettered view,
These words I try in vain to speak - are waiting here for "you".
