DIFFIDENCE
To devise and comprise A comment, a group of words, A sound byte of affection To describe, and to portray it, That would be a crime against dignity. A painter’s impression would show My befuddled expression, And one could see the words Glibly gliding from my gums, The air gently pressing on their bellies. And they’d be scripted on a Whim; carelessly not sans-serif, A subtle ten point font blanketing The verdant surrounding, Calling for her with idiosyncratic rhythm. But they’d be insufficient, they wouldn’t Do justice to my feelings, And I’d be like a child in a playroom Shifting and turning his learning blocks, Searching for the right combination. And in the end I’d be frustrated To the point of watery eyes and saline, Dripping down my rosy cheeks And framing my quivering lips, Quivering at their inability to say the right thing. |

That's magnificent! The imagery of the last two stanzas builds to a masterful conclusion...
QUOTE And framing my quivering lips, Quivering at their inability to say the right thing. Bravo! |
