speechless

I wanted to exclaim that you were beautiful
no that wasn’t enough, for beauty is seen as skin deep
and I meant something more unique, a feeling almost musical
like an orchestra piece that sweeps and leaps

I wanted to spend an evening holding on to hope of a summer day
I dreamed that we could reach out and our spark would light the sky
by holding you in my arms and being spirited away
I dreamed that our futures would somehow tie

I wanted to speak of how you made me feel inside
like the way waves talk to a tide, or how waters stroke the sandy beaches
they stoke the fires in my mind and I want to let the words stand with pride
but they sit deep within, too scared of hidden creatures, I sit speechless

I wanted to say that when I look at you I see the world, behind the face
engraved on my eyes, I see all the beautiful things
that we take for granted, all sat so perfectly in place
I see clouds reflecting in your eyes
rivers of thought flowing through your mind, universes dancing inside
I want to join the ride
take it where the tracks lead
I want you to be the conductor asking for my tickets please
I want you to pilot us headfirst through the breeze
show me all the sites in your mind
I want to join the ride, and enjoy the things that you find

I wanted to let you know that you have a special aura
of intense bright colour, warmth like summer
makes it feel like hope surrounds
and as mad as this sounds, I want to let my guard down
and speak out loud about how you remind me of dreams
spent flying through clouds as the sunlight streams

I wanted to say that you are beautiful
I wanted the words to sit like birds
perched on perfect ears
singing to you from so near
that the words couldn’t be misinterpreted or misheard

I wanted to...

But words are like spells, magical and mysterious

could fall victim to a curse or worse 

could cast the wrong spell sending us all to hell, or some planet just past Sirius
so I sit in silence letting the bubble burst
 

Words once spoken can’t be hidden away
they live in the mind, on constant replay
they may cause alarm or force you off the track
and once the genie is out of the bottle you can’t wish him back

Thanks for reading.
Peace & Love.
Kyle.
