I want to write but I can’t find the words
I thought that they had failed me
And then I realized that I have failed them.
They exist in all their beauty
Each syllable a musical note
Every nuance paints an image
That I can not seem to capture
I want to write but each word flits away
They are on my fingertips, within my grasp
Yet, they flirt and dart from the page

I am left with tauntinging beauty
That escapes my pen
But lingers in my mind
And dances on the tip of my tongue.

Darn those tyrant things! Don't you just want to snatch them all up and cram them in your mouth so they can't get away...

Probably should have had a question mark there.

Enjoyed this write aziza

dance your words
aziza
begin with adagio
dance till you reach
allegro
the words will fly
from the tip of your tongue
and dance on their own...

I really like this poem
and those flirting words

This dances a song I seem to have heard!  Oooh, it just drives me crazy when I can't think of how to express what I want to say.  How I can relate to your poem, Aziza!

passing shadows - Funny how words elude us, isn't it?

Dark,
I think that words, like fairies, dance on the underside of those leaves.  They are there -- we just have to listen to their music.

__________________________________________

playing.with.crayons,
They taste so tangy on our tongues -- I'd write more, but I can't type with my mouth full.

__________________________________________

Gentle Spirit,
Thank you for understanding.

skaterfreak,
Welcome to PiP and thank you for reading - and enjoying - my poem.

___________________________________________

Lady,
Your response is poetry and makes my imagination soar.  Lovely Lady.

____________________________________________

miscellanea,
I am thrilled that you feel this too - words are so elusive and their mystery weaves in their escape.  Yes?

____________________________________________

xoxoxo
to you all.
