"Don't want to be near you for the thoughts we share but the words we never
have to speak."- Nikki Giovani
I’m trying to put my words together
But nothing seems to formulate
I feel every emotion tingle under my skin
But my mind can’t seem to relate
This feeling of warmth mixed with joy
A word I can’t recall
Taking over my body like a sugar rush
It’s making me weak at my core
Your essence lingers within me
I feel your love sprouting from my insides
Since home is where the love lies
In my heart is where you reside
I close my eyes and I see your face
Sharply engraved in my memory
Picturing our days, our future escapes
And everything that will become of you & me
I’m attempting to explain how I feel
About your love’s mystery
The way you drew me in, and locked me down
Unprecedented, in history
I can sit here and describe you
Your perfection to its core
But tell me to describe this love
& I can’t say another word more
Love doesn’t justify it,
Wonderful isn’t even enough
It’s a mixture of words put together
Passion, desire, worship & even lust
I battle my thoughts in search of a word
Not ready to surrender this quest
A synonym, a metaphor, a haiku
That brings me closer to explain this love of you
I was never a quitter or a defeatist
I shall persist to find my way
To find a word to describe this feeling
That grows stronger every day
