Word Thief
~~~
I am a man of many words
But with you, I am struck dumb
There are so many things to say
But somehow, words just won’t come
~~~
It is hard to speak without breath
There is silence within the vacuum
Your beauty draws the air from my lungs
Every time you walk into the room
~~~
Breathless and brimming
I can but only stare
I am overwhelmed by you
A silence that is truly rare
~~~
You will have to read my mind
Find my thoughts behind the eyes
For I have met an angel
And my words, their great demise
~~~

Brad I love the title you chose. This poem reminds me of the first time I was in love. I know that feeling of being breathless around someone. You have written so beautifully about love and the power that person can have over us.
“Find my thoughts behind the eyes

Beautifully done. Have a blessed weekend my friend. Sending you lots of love ❤️ and always warm hugs. Jonikins
Thanks Joni! You are always too kind. I haven’t felt that way on a long time, but I will never forget what it is like. Sending much love in return! 🌹💕🌹
You are welcome and you describe the feeling with such amazing accuracy. The first time I was in love (keep in mind I was an old soul by seventeen in many ways) I felt very much that way every time we met. I thought I would be able to once again be in the same room when I moved back to the south with my family. Soon after I returned and I called his mom, she was quite old, he had died by falling down the stairs and breaking his neck. I still dream of him. I am blessed to have found love again but it took a long time. He broke my heart. However, I think of all the wonderful times we shared.
Thank you for the love and sending more back. ❤️❤️💕🦋 love Jonikins

Thanks Beth! I do not for a minute think I did not notice your post was late yesterday. Must be your summer schedule…..😁
summer is sliding into place )
Beautifully written! Sometimes, people do have the ability to take our breath away—as well as words.
Thank you Lucy!
what a tough combo – speechless and breathless. Maybe it’s the mask… 🙂
It is definitely the mask…😁
👍
Beautiful verses Brad!
Thank you Francisco!
Cheers!
It’s funny how sometimes we can’t find the words with those we love the most.
So true….thank you Pete!
*Swoon* 😍😍😍
