Speechless
as words won’t seem to come
we think the sentences but can not say
letters, though on tips of our tongue
your eyes betray you
providing windows to your soul


Motionless
actions seem so irrelevant
movements so over rated
your mind never short from benevolent
your behavior far from jaded
the only movement found
our hearts beating
smooth and sound.

Breathless
lungs refuse to take in air
for my eyes have caught your face
robbing me of breath, not fair
it seems to be your perfect ace
my ultimate weakness
your loving clear blue stare
chasing away my life's bleakness
I know your heart will always care

~ I love you
