writing you down

[drea]

I tried to you write you down today,
To explain in a few feeble words what this life had become for me
Because of you.

A strange twist,
That I cannot bring myself to fully explain my happiness,
In the same method that misery takes to paper.
So well, it glues everything down.

I havent written a word, painted a line,
Or so much as thought of a flowery adjective to describe you in speech.
If I could cough up your definition, I swear to god, I would.

Should I have the urge, I think it would be impossible anyway,
To accurately trace the lines of your face onto canvas,
Or properly depict your being in text.
Moreso, how could I justify trying to lasso your existance into a paragraph,
When I am molded into such a part of you, completely.

So should love render me the most basic being on earth,
Rob me of the creative impulse to cover this in paints and verbs,
Devoid of the need to break you into complicated pieces,
So be it.
It’s so simple, unfettered.

It’s just my heart in your hands, and your nod of approval.
It’s just your head on my shoulder, and my ability to stand still.

I tried to write you down today,
And I couldnt say much at all.

^^ wow. I like this, and this is how i feel - because words fail me when i try to write about the good things and person in my life right now.

very nice work drea.

drea, i thank-you from the bottom of my heart. i am rendered speechless by your speechlesness

Drea, magical as always! This is beautiful and touching and I can relate so well! I used to be a prolific writer, then I fell in love in what has become a long, stable relationship. These days I can barely put pen to paper and nothing noteworthy comes of it *sigh*. If this is, as you say, the price of such love, then it is a minimum to pay.

its been awhile my dear. i was missing your flowery adjectives and whatnot.... they are such a strong part of this forum. i was not disappointed in your latest, even though you describe it as a void of words...

so right... at least for me anyway. when i'm writing about pain and misery the words flow and flow faster than i can type. when i try to sit down and write something happy, even if the emotions are there, i'm speechless.

its like happiness can just be...

I am agreeable with e-girl, it is hard for me to write about happiness, saddness and pain are much easier to write. When i start to write something happy,, i end up tearing up that paper and just enjoy the moment, cause the words never come easy. I have much respect for your writting in that manner.

excellent!
