My Muse, My Writer�s Block

this describes the way I feel about an amazing woman that I've met

Who would’ve thought that thinking of a poem to write for you would’ve caused a writer’s block?

I have so many things to say,

Such a hefty price to pay,

But today, today I will endure the shock.

I will endure the past heartbreaks,

I will ignore the ones that that doubt us

I will make sure it’s a mutual give and take.

And give in to the allure that shouts about us.

People that see you think I’m only attracted to you because you’re beautiful.

But they don’t see that you’re analytical,

Knowledgeable in things biblical,

And connect to me deep down to the heart in things spiritual.

You might have noticed that already I’ve switched to three different writing styles.

But that’s what my mind does when I’ve been thinking about you for a while.

I’ve tried to think of a metaphor to apply to the things you do

But the truth is you are so unique, no form of speech to your essence would ring true.

You have no idea how I love to see the expressions on your face.

Your eyes are the perfect brown. No dimples are out of place.

Your beauty scars are quite charming. Your personality lights up a room.

Your genuine concern is very disarming. Your touch takes away the gloom.

Your smile is very playful and your soul is very young at heart.

Your vocabulary is impressive and your conversation makes you a sweetheart.

Which is why I want to be with you. Not to only take.

But to do the things you appreciate, and make your happiness great.

You give so much of yourself and yet ask for things so small.

But I want to be your knight in shining armor, to carry you off to the tower so tall.

If you feel like you’re the Giving Tree in that children’s story,

Then I want to be the gardener that comes and recultivates you in all your glory.

And I will bring a mirror to show your inner fears that we’ve come to unearth it.

And then I will write a novel of your strengths to show you that you’re worth it.

I want to show you that to love your life is the way to live.

And that as a human being, you are worth more than what you give.

The most important connection we have is that we both love our God above.

And I have finally realized that what I feel for you is not a crush, infatuation, or lust.

I have had this writer’s block because what I feel for you is the beginning of love.

Wonderful piece, I thank you for entering my contest. This is a wonderful heartfelt poem. Wonderful work. I think that you may want to smooth out a couple of the wordy sections, but other than that it is fantastic. Thanks again and God bless!

At first when you told me of your intention to write a poem, I never doubted that you would create a piece of art. However, I never thought it would be this beautiful and breathtaking. You did such an amazing job to captivate all of the little details, quirks, and personality traits. I liked how you switched it up with the different styles. I really appreciate that you didn't focus on beauty or other physical traits. You spoke from the heart and it really said volumes. Amazing job. Thank you.

I like this! I have just a few suggestions for a bit better flow "I have so much things to say," (I have so many things to say) "to carry you off in the tower so tall" (to carry you off to the tower so tall). Thank you for sharing such a tribute to love.
