...perhaps someday

 

 

Words,

I have been searching

for those magical words,

that collection of letters and phrases,

perfectly written

surrendered in every truth I know

that will show you

how deeply I care for you

 

They are out there, I know they are…

hidden in some old journal,

scribbled on faded pages

with a dust covered binding,

sitting on a shelf at a library

just out of reach

or penned in a poem,

beautiful fonts and affectionate thoughts,

perchance on this very site

for all the world to see

 

But I can’t seem to find them,

I have looked everywhere

and all I find are meaningless

verbs and nouns and other assorted characters

which are empty when compared

to these feelings of absolute devotion,

passion and desire

I hold for you in my heart

 

They don’t even begin to express

that you are my only dream,

the one I pray everyday will come true,

my sun and my moon, each star that I see

glistening in this universe I would

hand to you if I could

 

Not even close to conveying

you are as beautiful to me as a

cool spring morning and a warm summer night

That with each beat of my heart

I know you are my reason for living,

my entire existence, my everything

for without your love

I am nothing

 

So I will keep looking

…perhaps someday

Thank you again my friend. I appreciate you always being so nice to me.

How do we express such beauty? Maybe it is the silence that expresses it, afterall, the feeling more than words, sigh...beautiful xo

[willweb]

[Dannyisawriter]

It was beautiful and sentimental :) I loved it

[willweb]

Thank you again for your kindness.

[Confuser]

It is a beautiful heartfelt poem. I love it. Just lovely. The way you began with the search, the desperate way to tell your truest love, how much she means to you...the journey you went out, very clever writing Will, and then the ending, nothing. You are a very very good writer. Thank you so much; it is so honest, but yet your imagination is wild.

[willweb]

[Matching Socks]

Gosh. Sweet Willweb, you've knocked the breath out of me with this beautiful poem.
When you find love like this do you really need words when your lips are locked in true love's kiss?

[willweb]

Ummm, did you mention a kiss Ana? This is Will you're talking to, "The Unkissed". :) Thank you so much for this beautiful review of my work. Oh, I am trained in CPR if you need any help with that wind being knocked out of you problem. Just saying...

[Matching Socks]

Haha! I stepped right into that one didn't I?

[willweb]

Yep, you sure did and I couldn't be happier. :)
