Absense Of Word (The Hardest Poem To Write)

I will sit and try to think of words to put together
Try to make some sense of this feeling
That has consumed me totally
I will give myself a headache pondering meanings
Contemplating rhymes, and failing to distinguish between fact and fiction
The words will travel through my head at such high speeds
Trying to write each one down would be like trying to count every star in the sky
I have this intense fear in the pit of my stomach that I will never find the "perfect words" to describe exactly how I feel inside
But this fear comes not from a feeling of rejection, lack of expression
This fear stems from something deep in my soul
A seed planted during conception that never stops growing
This fear comes from knowing that those "perfect words" will never exist
That no one else in the world will ever be able to grasp exactly what's going on inside me
Because it's completely indescribable.
I couldn't even imagine another human being able to get inside my head, because most of the time I can't even get in without picking the lock
But you slipped through my fingers
Tasted my lips, looked into my eyes
And crawled into my heart
You have become a part of me that grows now, a part I can't cut out
Saying that I am at a loss for words is an extreme understatement
For looking into your eyes can strip me of my entire vocabulary
Like the many syllables that get lost in my head before they reach paper, I am lost in you
And my only hope is that I never find my way back
Until the very destruction of language.
June/2004 For Dave

I really love this poem. Just the freewriting and the way the poem itself seems to have a struggling flow to it, just as in your emotions.
Lots of love and peace be with you,

Its a total love poem, and writing,,,,,,,Simply means you are in "love " and not just loving. People dont get that concept, they sway away and then it turns ugly! Keep hopes and it will work as, long, as you want it! |
