A Sky of You

This poem beautifully captures the depth of unspoken love, using the metaphor of painting the sky to express feelings that transcend words.

If I could,
I would paint a picture of you across the sky�"
A canvas of clouds for the world to see.
The rainbow, my palette, dipped in hues of my heart,
To illustrate the boundless depths
Of how much I love you.

A picture might capture a million words,
Yet a million words falls short�"
They can’t hold the vastness of my love,
A love that spills beyond the edges of language.

I try to voice the feelings I harbour,
To let you glimpse the ocean within me,
But every time, my voice falters,
Drowning in the waves of emotion
That crash and recede, leaving me silent,
A debtor at the banks of words,
Struggling to pay off what cannot be expressed.

But if you could see the sky I paint for you,
You’d know, without a word spoken�"
That my love for you is as infinite as the heavens,
And as enduring as the light that breaks through the storm.
