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
~~~

Such loving words for the woman lucky enough to receive them…
How thoughtful to say. Thanks, sis! Love you!
lucky indeed, hopefully she will see
Thank you, Beth! You are always so kind and I appreciate you.
Intense and powerful indeed, as is the breath with which we speak. Lovely verses Brad!
Thank you, Francisco!
You’re welcome Brad!
For someone who has been rendered speechless, you found such beautiful words to describe the feeling! I agree with Beth and your sister, a gal should be so lucky! 😍
You are too kind and maybe all a little bias. I may be fun to read, but I am hard to live with. Kind of like a mystery that does not reveal the culprit in the end. But I appreciate the continued encouragement!
I don’t claim to know everything about you. I’m sure there are many things I don’t know. However, I still think you are far too humble.
Oh, don’t get me wrong, I am quite the catch. Rapier wit, ravishing, good looks. honest, and reliable. And, obviously humble to a fault…LOL! And you likely know me better than you think. Have a great weekend, Kristian!
Haha. Well, I cannot argue with you, there! Have a good weekend as well, my friend! It will soon be time to get reacquainted with your two-wheeled lover, if you haven’t already! ❤
Just say that you love her when the words don’t come. She’ll know the truth.
Sage advice, Pete! Thank you!
Wow this is an amazing poem of complete love, and such fear of rejection. It certainly reminds me a little of Romeo and Juliet, even though their story is different, it just us. Hugs and love Jonikins
