Quiet Admiration
----------
My soul forms the words,My heart ensnares them,Locking them in its warm chambers,My mind knows these words,And my fingers write these words,Yet my lips,The dastardly thingsThey find no valor,And can not form the words.----------How is it that I can feel these words,With so much hope and admirationJust for you,Yet my lips can not speak themTo tell youOf your shy smileAnd your crystal eyes?I am enamored by you,By your words and your laughter.----------You leave me breathless,As the air leaps out of my mouth,Twirling and bowing to your charms,Enchanted by your congeniality.Your face is imprinted in my mindNever leaving,Never fading.Your smile warming my heart,And your eyes entrancing my soul.----------I wish I could form my feelingsInto articulate wordsOf love and wonderAnd tell you of my feelings,Let you know of my aspirationTo be held securely in your arms,Where I long to be,Sitting serenely with you,Basking in the sweet resonance of stillness.----------But I know that wish is unattainable,Far out of my reach,Yet I admire you still,Yearning that one day you'll notice meAs more than just a girlBut as a young womanWhose heart you've whisked awayInto the perpetual sky,Floating along the clouds.----------And everyday I lingerHoping for some acknowledgment,A fleeting look or a petite hello.Perhaps to even hear you speak my nameWould bring warmth to my heartAnd joy to my daysAs I wait for you to discernThat I, quietly,Admire you.
