Descriptions

I will describe not your eyes
And the sliver of shyness that dances
Between the poetry of your brows.

I will describe not your face
And the million dreams it hides
Within the edges of that beautiful smile.

I will describe not your warmth
And the trappings of the hearth
You bring to my winter days.

I will describe not your heart
And the pulse of my world
That runs through its sacred chambers.

For I will never be able
To capture the poetry of your beauty
In words from my frail pen.

Oh my gosh! Brilliant poem! It left me wondering why you wouldn't describe the many things about this person,but the last stanza wrapped it up beautifully. I loved the reason why you wouldn't describe this person. Keep writing!

This poem is so beautiful--so much for me about the hesitancy and fulfillment of love and our innate struggle to describe it. Thank you!

[Adelia Alighieri]

Wow, really. It's so simple with such subtle emotions. I like how you try and you fail and you let it be. That's the strength. Well done!

A powerful and beautifully written piece. The feel is classical yet modern as well. Sorry for not having more to say than that but its going into my favorites.

Man, I think this one surpasses "Thoughts Of You". Very, very beautiful. And as aforementioned, powerful.
