I cannot write. The words won’t come,

They do not flow, they do not run.

No musings glowing on my screen,

Nor rhyming couplets to be seen.

I sit and stare, then stare and sit

And that’s about the size of it.

*

I’m trying write, my words are stuck

Type, delete, yet still no luck.

My thoughts of you a jumble now.

I’d like to say, but don’t know how.

So I pick at keys to no avail.

I fear this ditty’s going to fail.

*

Words still don’t come, yet I persist,

Bear with me love, you’ll get the gist.

I’ll try because I love you so,

And swear to tell you all I know

About the things you do to me

Or how our love was meant to be.

*

Indulge me love, I’ll make you proud

When I express my thoughts out loud.

You’ll know just how I feel for you

And all the things I’d like to do

When finally I hold your hand

In your distant, far off land.

*

And NOW the words come, finally!

(I’m smiling as I type, you see?)

Thinking of your handsome face,

The way you move, with ease and grace.

Your smile makes my heart skip a beat.

The taste of you is oh so sweet.

*

My love for you is deep as sea,

Desire still strong as it can be.

I crave your mind, your humour too,

There’s little I’d not do for you.

I’d sail the ocean, soar the sky,

Just ask it, I’d not question why.

*

Your intellect, the same as mine,

Your skin against me, so divine.

I've butterflies, to hear you speak

To hear you growl makes my knees weak,

I love the very bones of you

Don’t need to question “if” it’s true.

*

I should have just said, "I love you."
