Listening to every heart

If not so shy
yes
I am

I would talk with you
'tho I balk
but won't walk
apart from you

no,
I'd just hie away
this shy away
if I could

so I write
what I cannot speak
however,
you must know,
my tongue
is not
in my cheek
for these words
that I would speak
must be wrote
every note
just so
you can see

see?

that this, this love
would speak
oh, so loud
you could hear it
above the crowd

but it comes out

in whispers

all I can do
is sit at your knee
looking to please
you

please

all I can do
is take you up
in hazelgreen eyes
for I know enough
to look at you

but you
your presence alone
closes my throat
and I find it hard
in the eyes of you
to speak the words
that I want to

so forgive me please
if I don't talk
forgive the balk
of me

I will just sit
quietly
and listen
to the you of me
I will take in
quietly
all that you
would say, or see

in this knowing
of the
I love you
of thee

as you talk
undeviatingly to me
my smile
is personally yours

as is
all this shy of me
and ask
that you never
hie away the love of me

Oh, this is beautiful, Karilea. You know that I love it. It's so romantic. It's a keeper for sure.

Dear Karilea, this is so very touching. In softness you bared your soul.
Very beautifully written.
Love and hugs. Margherita

I like this romantic beauty very much, Sunshine... and even for poets, sometimes there's no need for words. *S*

Gosh, Karilea.  I know this... or correction knew this.  Now I am not so shy.  Seems many know where I stand now.  And that's a good thing!  

Love this one...thanks for the repost!

If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried.
